.SH NAME
rwbytype.d \- read/write bytes by vnode type. Uses DTrace.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rwbytype.d
.SH DESCRIPTION
This program identifies the vnode type of read/write activity - whether
that is for regular files, sockets, character special devices, etc. This
is measuring at the application level, so file activity may well be 
cached by the system.

Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.
.SH EXAMPLES

This samples until Ctrl\-C is hit.
