Splunk Search

Tstats command

Does anybody have a good documentation regarding on how to use tstats? I have mainly used "normal" searches but need to use tstats now.
The splunk documentation I have already read and it's not good (i think you need to know already a lot before reading any splunk documentation) . With normal searches you can define the indexes source types and also the data will show , so based on the data you can refine your search, how can I do the same with tstats ?
