.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||||
.BI "slabtop [ " options " ] "
|
||||
|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.BR slabtop (1)
|
||||
displays detailed kernel slab cache information in real time. It displays a
|
||||
listing of the top caches sorted by one of the listed sort criterias. It also
|
||||
displays a statistics header filled with slab layer information.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH OPTIONS
|
||||
Normal invocation of
|
||||
.BR slabtop (1)
|
||||
does not require any options. The behavior, however, can be fine-tuned by
|
||||
specifying one or more of the following flags:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-\^\-delay=n, \-d n
|
||||
Refresh the display every n seconds. By default,
|
||||
.BR slabtop (1)
|
||||
refreshes the display every three seconds. To exit the program, hit
|
||||
.BR q.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-\^\-sort=S, \-s S
|
||||
Sort by S, where S is one of the sort criteria.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-\^\-once, \-o
|
||||
Display the output once and then exit.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-\^\-version, \-V
|
||||
Display version information and exit.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B \-\^\-help
|
||||
Display usage information and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
.SH SORT CRITERIA
|
||||
The following are valid sort criteria used to sort the individual slab caches
|
||||
and thereby determine what are the "top" slab caches to display. The default
|
||||
sort criteria is to sort by the number of objects ("o").
|
||||
|
||||
The sort criteria can also be changed while slabtop is running by pressing
|
||||
the associated character.

||||
