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.
