human-readable output format.

Add options to select power-of-two based IEC units such as KiB/s
(1024 B/s) for scaling throughput values in human readable reports.
Option Scaling factor
================================
--scale ki 1024
--scale mi 1048576
--scale gi 1073741824
--scale auto-iec IEC units

chpstat uses power-of-two based IEC units such as KiB/s (1024 B/s) when
scaling throughput values in human readable reports. A user interpreting
these numbers can easily be confused by chpstat's default column header
("B/s") to assume that numbers are scaled using power-of-ten based SI
units such as kB/s (1000 B/s).
In addition, users that have worked with similar z/OS tooling to display
channel path activity are used to SI-based scaling, which increases the
chance of chpstat reports being misinterpreted.
To reduce this confusion, use SI units for throughput scaling:
Option Old factor New factor
==========================================
--scale k 1024 1000
--scale m 1048576 1000000
--scale g 1073741824 1000000000
--scale auto IEC units SI units
Note that machine-readable format produced via option --format is not
affected by scaling.

Add a new tool named chpstat that can be used to view channel-path
statistics such as utilization and I/O throughput, and to query and
control the status of the channel-path statistics function.
Note: Channel-path statistics are only available on systems running in
an LPAR or DPM partition.
When run without further options, data for all channel-paths is
displayed repeatedly with a 5 second delay in table format.
Example output:
CHANNEL-PATH UTILIZATION(%) READ(B/s) WRITE(B/s)
