>Description:
	The EXAMPLE section contains the example ``vmstat -i 5''
	and states that this will print the status every 5
	seconds.  However, the -i option now does interrupts.
	One should use the -w flag instead (see patch).

 .SH EXAMPLES
-The command ``vmstat -i 5'' will print what the system is doing every five
+The command ``vmstat -w 5'' will print what the system is doing every five
 seconds; this is a good choice of printing interval since this is how often
 some of the statistics are sampled in the system.
 Others vary every second and running the output for a while will make it
