But unlike " "sar" ", " "sadf" +can write its data in many different formats (CSV, XML, etc.) +The default format is one that can +easily be handled by pattern processing commands like +.BR "awk " "(see option " "-p" "). The " "sadf" +command can also be used to draw graphs for the various activities collected by +.B sar +and display them as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) graphics in your web browser +(see option +.BR "-g" ")." +.PP +.RB "The " "sadf" +command extracts and writes to standard output records saved in the +.I datafile +file. This file must have been created by a version of +.BR "sar " "which is compatible with that of " "sadf" ". If" +.I datafile +.RB "is omitted, " "sadf" +uses the standard system activity daily data file. +It is also possible to enter +.BR "-1" ", " "-2 " "etc. as an argument to " "sadf" +to display data of that days ago. For example, +.B -1 +will point at the standard system activity file of yesterday. +.PP +The standard system activity daily data file is named +.IR "saDD " "or " "saYYYYMMDD" ", where" +.IR "YYYY " "stands for the current year, " "MM " "for the current month and " "DD" +for the current day. +.B sadf +will look for the most recent of +.IR "saDD " "and " "saYYYYMMDD" "," +and use it. By default it is located in the +.I /var/log/sa +directory. Yet it is possible to specify an alternate location for it: If +.I datafile +is a directory (instead of a plain file) then it will be considered as +the directory where the standard system activity daily data file is located. +.PP +.RI "The " "interval " "and " "count " "parameters are used to tell" +.BR "sadf " "to select" +.IR "count " "records at " "interval " "seconds apart. If the " "count" +parameter is not set, then all the records saved in the data file will be displayed. +.PP +All the activity flags of +.B sar +may be entered on the command line to indicate which +activities are to be reported. Before specifying them, put a pair of dashes +.RB "(" "--" ")" +on the command line in order not to confuse the flags with those of +.B sadf. +Not specifying any flags selects only CPU activity. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B -C +.RB "Tell " "sadf " "to display comments present in file." +.TP +.B -c +Convert an old system activity binary datafile (version 9.1.6 and later) +to current up-to-date format.
