# 174573 13-Dec-2007 peter

Add the -H, -h and -P flags to vmstat. -P causes per-cpu output of
user/system/idle stats. -h feeds the memory column through
humanize_number() to reduce the amount of column overflowing. -H turns
this off. -h is turned on by default if stdout is a tty.


# 163921 02-Nov-2006 rwatson

Cross-reference libmemstat(3), malloc(9), uma(9).


# 163563 21-Oct-2006 ru

Interlink systat(1), iostat(8) and vmstat(8) through their SEE ALSO
sections, so that users of one can learn about the others easily.

# 127452 26-Mar-2004 ru

Properly document the -M and -N options.


# 123410 10-Dec-2003 des

Document the simpler -a semantics.


# 123250 07-Dec-2003 des

Finish the transition from libkvm to sysctl that I started a while ago.
The use of libkvm for post-mortem analysis is still supported (though it
could use more testing). We can now remove vmstat's setgid bit.

While I'm here, hack the interrupt listing code to not display interrupts
that haven't occurred unless the -a option was given on the command line,
and document this change.


# 113461 14-Apr-2003 tjr

Uncomment the description of the -f option. Add rfork() to the list of
system calls it displays stats about.

# 43822 09-Feb-1999 ken

Fix vmstat display problems. The header printout wasn't quite right, and
the display wrapped around.

This decreases the default maximum number of disks shown to 2, so things
don't wrap around so easily. Also, it fixes the header display issues.
