Hi, I'm working on something that tends to generate a lot of context switches and I don't like the way values in "vmstat 1" are printed practically unbounded, causing wrapping, etc.
Here's a patch against -CURRENT that uses humanize_number() to keep the formatting of memory and context switches tabular in the common case: http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/diffs/vmstat.c.patch.txt The following people might not like it: * Those who really need to distinguish between 185400 context switches and 185499 context switches * Those who have scripts that parse the output * Those who thought the previous chaotic behaviour is cute :) Example of new output is: procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm free flt re pi po fr sr ad4 ad8 in sy cs us sy id 3 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 373K 267K 4 37 59 2 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 366K 271K 4 37 59 3 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 370K 267K 4 36 59 4 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 378K 278K 5 36 60 3 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 69 366K 268K 4 39 58 2 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65 372K 271K 5 41 54 4 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 71 374K 271K 5 40 55 2 0 0 112M 3.7G 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 375K 276K 4 39 57 Any objections to the patch?
