Anybody out there get anything started with the Fairchild Clipper chipset
yet? I would be interested in hearing about any experiences and opinions
about the Cliper module, documentation and supporting hardware/software.

Can anyone tell me what all the fields that the csh time command prints out
are? When I do something like 'time ls' in csh, I get:

1.3u 0.7s 0:11 19% 23+79k 3+0io 2pf+0w

The man page for csh documents the fist 4 fields as user time, system time,
elapsed time (all in seconds), and utilization (i.e. (u+s)/e). I guess
that the next fields are memory usage, io calls, and page faults. What the
numbers mean is not described. Could anyone send me a definite description
of the last 6 numbers?

Thanks,

Israel

23+79k -- Average resident sizes of text and data+stack. The numbers
are measured in 512-byte pages.

3+0io -- This is the I/O charged to the process (not necessarily
initiated by the process). The 3 is the total number of
requests, the 0 is the number of disk accesses. The
difference is the number of buffer cache hits.

2pf+0w -- The 2pf is the number of page faults that required disk I/O
to read the page (known in unix as major faults). The 0w is
the number of times ths process was swapped to disk.

Note that these statistics are machine dependent. The precise
meaning depends on the hardware and how the kernel counts things.

On anything other than a vax, check very carefully before you
assume that they mean what they do on a vax.

A year or two ago, David Brown ({zehntel,amd,fortune,resonex}!varian!david)
posted a manual page for the csh "time" command. The man page was actually
written by Mark Wittenberg ({zehntel,varian}!rtech!mark).

Among the neat, undocumented stuff in it was the fact that you can change the
output format of the "time" command by setting a shell variable named "time".
For instance, here's a setting I like to use:

set time=(0 "user=%U sec, system=%S sec, elapsed=%E min, cpu use=%P, %W swaps,\
%I disk reads, %O disk writes. Data+stack+text pages: %K avg., %M max.")

The man page was written for 4.1bsd csh; I don't know if it much has changed
for 4.[23]bsd. If anyone wants a copy of the man page, let me know.
If I get enough requests, I'll post it to net.sources.

Fifteen requests in one day is enough; I'll post it to net.sources!
I'll also try to send a copy via e-mail to the people who asked specifically
for e-mail copies.
