It sounds like you haven't read the manual, which is a Bad Thing(TM).

The man pages provide descriptions of what comes out of those two
commands. Not very detailed, I admit.

pstat -T is easy - it's the number used and total available for kernel
file descriptors and swap space. If you don't know what those are,
follow the advice for vmstat -s.
vmstat -s is another story completely. I'd recommend buying Kirk
McKusick's BSD internals book. I can't think of anything else that's
liable to cover it all.
