>Description:
iostat(8) man page says
-H height ... If explicitly set
to zero, pages are considered to be infinitely long. This
parameter determines the frequency at which repeated headers
are output. If the value is greater than zero, but too small
for the header, along with one output set, then a new header
will be produced for each set of output.
With -H 0 one would expect than no repeated headers would be needed on
an infinitely long page. Yet it actually repeats the header for every
set of output, just as though the value of height were "greater than
zero, but too small ..."
>How-To-Repeat:
execute
iostat -H 0 -c 2
and observe repeated headers.
