==Using the file detail screen==
[[File statistics displayed in SirMon|This listing of file statistics]] contains descriptions for most of the statistics displayed on this screen. See also the screen's online Help. Each file has a specific value for each statistic based on the file's current activity and state within the Online region.

Many of these statistics are also viewable on the [[SirFile file tables screen]]. Others may be viewable only at command level.

For additional information about file statistics, see [[File statistics and tuning]]. 

===Command line options===
You can use the <var>TIME</var> command to place the file detail screen into auto-refresh mode:
<table>
<tr><th nowrap><var>TIME</var> xx yy</th>
<td>This command takes a snapshot of the file every <var class="term">yy</var> seconds until <var class="term">xx</var> snapshots have been taken. The rate and total information displayed is updated with each snapshot.
<p>
The snapshots are not stored, but they allow you to view precise per-second changes in the state of the file. </p>
<p>
You can use the PgUp (PA1) key to interrupt an automatic refresh. </p></td></tr>
</table>

This screen is especially useful when a warning is posted against a
file, as it allows you to view all relevant file table information.
