Public bug reported: If one enters `sudo iostat 0 2` which doesn't make any sense the displayed usage message
Usage: iostat [ options ] [ <interval> [ <count> ] ] Options are: [ -c ] [ -d ] [ -h ] [ -k | -m ] [ -N ] [ -t ] [ -V ] [ -x ] [ -y ] [ -z ] [ -j { ID | LABEL | PATH | UUID | ... } ] [ [ -T ] -g <group_name> ] [ -p [ <device> [,...] | ALL ] ] [ <device> [...] | ALL ] doesn't mention the constraint that interval has to be > 0 which is pretty clear, but `<interval > 0>` instead of `<interval>` provides a faster clue what's wrong.
