SAR averages question

Hi all


Bit of a silly question, but if I run sar to get the CPU stats (something like this):

sar -u 300 1


The figures that are returned, is it in the above case the average over 300 seconds, or does it just wait for 300 seconds before obtaining the readings?

It's the average load.
