I was wondering if there is a way to determine the context switching rate?

In /usr/include/sys/vmmeter.h the structure

struct vmmeter {
	u_int v_swtch;		/* context switches */
	.
	.
	.
}

looks like what I want but I can't find a function which returns this data
to a user land application.  Is this possible?  If so how?

Thank you much,
Russell Francis
