+ help
+ Dstat, written in Python, is a versatile replacement for vmstat,
+ iostat, netstat and ifstat. Dstat overcomes some of their limitations
+ and adds some extra features, more counters and flexibility. Dstat is
+ handy for monitoring systems during performance tuning tests,
+ benchmarks or troubleshooting.
+ Dstat allows you to view all of your system resources in real-time,
+ you can e.g. compare disk utilization in combination with interrupts
+ from your IDE controller, or compare the network bandwidth numbers
+ directly with the disk throughput (in the same interval).
+
+ Note that to get proper output, your terminal size should be known by
+ the termios subsystem. This can be done by running the 'resize'
+ utility of busybox.
