  Description      : print network traffic statistics

nicstat is to network interfaces as iostat is to disks, or prstat is to
processes. It is designed as a much better version of "netstat -i". Its
differences include:

 - Reports bytes in & out as well as packets.
 - Normalizes these values to per-second rates.
 - Reports on all interfaces (while iterating)
 - Reports Utilization (rough calculation as of now)
 - Reports Saturation (also rough)
 - Prefixes statistics with the current time
