NFSSTAT(1)                BSD General Commands Manual               NFSSTAT(1)

NAME
     nfsstat -- display NFS statistics

SYNOPSIS
     nfsstat [-cseu] [-w wait] [-n net|user]

DESCRIPTION
     nfsstat displays statistics kept about NFS client and server activity, active user activity, and
     exported directories.  In the absence of any options, nfsstat displays NFS client and server statis-tics. statistics.
     tics.

     The options are as follows:

     -c      Show NFS client statistics.

     -e      Show exported directory statistics.

     -s      Show NFS server statistics.

     -u      Show active user statistics.

     -w      Display a shorter summary at wait second intervals.

     -n net|user
             Show network addresses as numbers, or show users as uid numbers.  This option can appear multi-ple multiple
             ple times.
