Hello,

Can I just point out a little?

getstats and sendstats are strictly not same. getstats is for stats to
receive statistics data like boot_time from boss when stats is
starting. sendstats is for bindctl to have boss send statistics data
to stats whenever it is requested. Actually boss handles only
boot_time in statistics data. In #519 we didn't document the use of
getstats because it's for the internal use as Likun mentioned.
Originally sendstats had been also used for the former
situation. However we added changes for the new internal command into
boss and stats in order to fix the issue in msgq in #519.

Thanks,
