For the default output and all values within their range as set by the format specifiers, yes. But see bde's comment. # It seems to me that the vmstat format is somewhat obsolete. Obviously # we need to maintain compatibility for the sake of existing scripts, # but they don't care about 80 character maxima (I hope). How about # thinking about how to make the output more configurable? You mean like ps -o? That would be nice to have, indeed. My copious free time(TM) is consumed by PR driving right now, so don't expect me to work on it in the near future. Has a core member ever filed a change-request PR? :-) Regards, Jens -- Jens Schweikhardt http://www.schweikhardt.net/ SIGSIG -- signature too long (core dumped) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
