Hi; The manpage for top(1) doesn't describe the output provided by top's "IO" mode, which is reached by running top and then pressing the "m" key. Reaching IO mode is described in the manpage, but the fields therein: VCSW (voluntary context switches) IVCSW (invulntary .... READ WRITE FAULT (page faults) TOTAL (of what?) PERCENT (of what?) are described nowhere on the manpage. The "cpu" mode appears to be convered. THere's even a special "FreeBSD" section at the bottom of the manpage. This stuff has to be described someplace (i.e., manpage for vmstat?). A pointer to a different manpage would be better than nothing.
