bloody(cmd/flowadm)[1]% flowstat --help
bloody(cmd/flowadm)[0]% flowstat -3
flowstat: unrecognized option '-3'
usage: flowstat [-r | -t] [-i interval] [-l link] [flow]
       flowstat [-A] [-i interval] [-p] [ -o field[,...]]
                [-u R|K|M|G|T|P] [-l link] [flow]
       flowstat -h [-a] [-d] [-F format] [-s <DD/MM/YYYY,HH:MM:SS>]
                [-e <DD/MM/YYYY,HH:MM:SS>] -f <logfile> [<flow>]
bloody(cmd/flowadm)[1]%
