now generates perfdata if desired (option -f)" . Not sure i understand
about perfdata. Is there a way to measure performance?

See:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/perfdata.html

Typically, you would install an addon for graphing the performance data.  A
popular one is http://www.pnp4nagios.org

The "-f" flag in your example causes the plugin to generate plugin
performance data.
