   The last bit? That's pasted from systat bufcache. I didn't find
a command line utility for it right off, but it looks like it is
fetched as a struct-based sysctl, so writing your own shouldn't be
a bit deal. Or maybe it should be another option on vmstat, which
looks like it already has an option to display related info.
