.SH NAME
icmpstat.d \- print ICMP statistics. Uses DTrace.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B icmpstat.d
.SH DESCRIPTION
icmpstat.d is a DTrace program to print ICMP statistics every second,
retrieved from the MIB provider. This is a simple script to demonstrate the 
ability to trace ICMP events.

The ICMP statistics are documented in the mib2_icmp struct
in /usr/include/inet/mib2.h; and also in the mib provider
chapter of the DTrace Guide, found at 
http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-6223.

Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the
dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.
