| -o | Report the total number of blocks read or written and total characters transferred by command and all its children. This option works only if the process accounting software is installed. |
| -p | List process accounting records for command and all its children. This option works only if the process accounting software is installed. Sub options f, h, k, m, r, and t modify the data items reported. The options are as follows:
| -f | Print the fork(2)/ exec(2) flag and system exit status columns in the output. |
| -h | Instead of mean memory size, show the fraction of total available CPU time consumed by the process during its execution. This ``hog factor'' is computed as (total CPU time)/(elapsed time). |
| -k | Instead of memory size, show total kcore-minutes. |
| -m | Show mean core size (the default). |
| -r | Show CPU factor (user time/(system-time + user-time)). |
| -t | Show separate system and user CPU times. The number of blocks read or written and the number of characters transferred are always reported. |
|
| -s | Report total system activity (not just that due to command ) that occurred during the execution interval of command . All the data items listed in sar are reported. |
