+.SH NAME
+fspaging.d \- file system read/write and paging tracing. Uses DTrace.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B fspaging.d
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This traces file related activity: system call reads and writes,
+vnode logical read and writes (fop), vnode putpage and getpage activity,
+and disk I/O. It can be used to examine the behaviour of each I/O
+layer, from the syscall interface to what the disk is doing. Behaviour
+such as read-ahead, and max I/O size breakup can be observed.
+
+This is a verbose version of fsrw.d, as this also traces paging activity.
+
+Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the
+dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.
+.SH OS
+Solaris
+.SH STABILITY
+unstable - this script uses fbt provider probes which may change for
+future updates of the OS, invalidating this script. Please read
+Docs/Notes/ALLfbt_notes.txt for further details about these fbt scripts.
