+.TH iopending 1m "$Date:: 2007-08-05 #$" "USER COMMANDS"
+.SH NAME
+iopending \- plot number of pending disk events. Uses DTrace.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B iopending
+[\-c] [\-d device] [\-f filename] [\-m mount_point] [interval [count]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This samples the number of disk events that are pending and plots a
+distribution graph. By doing this the
+"serialness" or "parallelness" of disk behaviour can be distinguished.
+A high occurance of a pending value of more than 1 is an indication of
+saturation.
+
+Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the
+dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.
+.SH OS
+Solaris
+.SH STABILITY
+stable - needs the io provider.
