The "istats" command is a utility for monitoring and displaying various hardware sensor information on macOS systems. It provides real-time data on the temperature, fan speed, and voltage sensors of your Mac computer.

When executed in the terminal, the "istats" command displays a list of the available sensors and their corresponding values. The information is typically organized in a readable and user-friendly format, making it easy to monitor the hardware's health and performance.

This command can be useful for troubleshooting, as abnormal sensor readings can indicate potential hardware issues or excessive heat. Additionally, it can be used to monitor system performance under heavy loads or resource-intensive tasks.

Note that the "istats" command requires installation of a third-party command-line tool called "iStats Menu" or "istat menus" to function properly. Just executing "istats" without the proper installation will likely result in an error message.
