I was feeling proactive and took a look at the vmstat code, which is an amazing piece of work (take my comment however you wish, because it has multiple implications). A brief skim shows me that somehow it's related to eintrnames[] in <sys/interrupt.h>. How these get strings populated (e.g. "irq##" vs. "irq##+"), I have absolutely no idea -- as stated, I cannot make heads or tails of the code. (It's architecture-independant from what the code comments state...) Regardless, the strings look to be populated somewhere within kernel-land, not by vmstat. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
