+The following is an example fo the rwbytype.d script.

+Here we can see that the grep process with PID 10356 read 147645 bytes
+from "regular" files. These are I/O bytes at the application level, so
+much of these read bytes would have been cached by the filesystem page cache.
+
+vnode file types are listed in /usr/include/sys/vnode.h, and give an idea of
+what the file descriptor refers to.
