Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The diskdevstat and netdevstat code were not consistent in naming the parameters in the built-in help. Consequence: There are used "total-duration" and "total-interval" to name the same thing. Fix: The text was updated to be consistent. Result: Now the string "total-duration" is only used.

Description Branislav Blaškovič 2012-12-07 13:07:20 UTC 
Description of problem:

  The usage of diskdevstat looks like this:

  A simple systemtap script to record harddisk activity of processes and display
  statistics for read/write operations.

  usage: diskdevstat [update-interval] [total-duration] [display-histogram]

         update-interval      in seconds, the default is 5
         total-interval       in seconds, the default is 86400
         display-histogram    anything, unset by default

  It can be confusing to have "total-duration" and then "total-interval" to name the same thing.
