Yes, thank you. One possible format come to my mind later is to
present the numbers in a 2d table, like this:
pages chunks works chunk_kb work_kbps
balance_dirty_pages XXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX
background XXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX
sync XXXXX XXXX XXX XXXX XXXXX
...
The format is not only human friendly and trivial for scripting, but
also permits to add new lines or columns (append only though) without
breaking compatibility.
Thanks,
Fengguang
