>Description:
In the systat(1), 7th and 8th paragraph of vmstat description,
where `Rec', `It', `F/S', `F/F', `Fre', `SFr', `zf' and `xf' are described,
seems to be obsolete. Probably, it's for the VAX 4.3BSD's systat(1).
There are not these items in the FreeBSD's systat(1).

And descriptions about following items are missing.
  number of copy-on-writes (`cow')
  pages zero filled on demand (`zfod')
  number of pages wired down (`wire')
  number of pages active (`act')
  number of pages inactive (`inact')
  number of pages on buffer cache queue (`cache')
  number of pages free (`free')
  pages freed by daemon (`daefr')
  pages freed by exiting processes (`prcfr')
  number of pages reactivated from free list (`react')
  number of times daemon has awaken from sleep (`pdwak')
  number of pages analyzed by daemon (`pdpgs')
  intransit blocking page faults (`intrn')
  bufspace (`buf')

>How-To-Repeat:


>Fix:
Remove 7th and 8th paragraph of vmstat description in systat(1),
then add descriptions about missing items, please.
(Because I'm not so good at English, I could not make patch. Sorry.)
