+The following are demonstrations of the rfileio.d script.

+
+rfileio.d prints file system statistics by file,

+
+ $ ls -l /extra1/contents
+ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94865162 Nov 2 21:08 /extra1/contents
+
+The /extra1/contents file was read using the grep command. The output shows
+that half of the contents was returned from the cache, the other half from disk
+(50% miss-rate). It is 94,865,162 bytes in size, which can be seen both in
+the ls -l output and the logical read() bytes reported by rfileio.d. There
+were 11,582 logical read() calls, which the disk driver satisfied by using
+1,700 disk events (aggregation).
+
+
+
+The following demonstrates many files being read.

+
+ Total File System miss-rate: 81%
+ ^C
+
+The miss-rate was 81%, meaning we are returning around 20% of the data from
+the cache. Details for the top 20 files read by-bytes and by-count are listed;
+this shows the /usr/bin/amd64/mdb file was read() 63 times, causing 15 disk
+reads, and while 627,456 bytes were requested, 638,976 bytes were read from
+disk (the extra bytes are due to read-ahead and file system metadata).
