>Description:
The top manpage lists at its end some FreeBSD notes, that describe what the various memory states are (wired cache buf etc).
It's a useful piece of information. However, the other information displayed in top (cpu states) have no such explanations.
>How-To-Repeat:
top
man top
>Fix:
I would suggest a correction but I'm not so sure I understand the subtleties of the various states well enough to document
them in a definitive manner.
