🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

faultstat [options] [delay [count]]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so bestie, faultstat reports the major and minor page fault activity of processes. no cap, that's literally the whole vibe. 👑

If a delay and count are not specified, a snapshot of the current page fault activity is displayed. like, one and done, a lil polaroid of your faults. 📸

If a delay in seconds is specified, faultstat will periodically show any per-process page fault changes. the way that it just keeps going... it will run indefinitely until a SIGINT is caught. ✋ specifying count will repeat the periodic output count number of times. periodt.
