**ifstat [interfaces...]** Displays information and statistics about the specified interface. If no interface is specified, displays information about all detected interfaces. Information includes MAC address, PCI bus/slot/function identiers, and packet counts. | **ifstat [interfaces...]** Displays information and statistics about the specified interface.

Read-only access to the system's Systems Management BIOS. Identifiers follow the format <type>.<offset>.<length>:<format>. Example: To read the Manufacturer name, //get smbios/1.4.0:string// will read SMBIOS offset 4 as a string. Valid formats: string, uristring (for URI-friendly string format), ipv4, int8, int16, int32, uint8, uint16, uint32, hex, uuid | Read-only access to the system's Systems Management BIOS.
