+.TH loads.d 1m "$Date:: 2007-08-05 #$" "USER COMMANDS"
+.SH NAME
+loads.d \- print load averages. Uses DTrace.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B loads.d
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These are the same load averages that the "uptime" command prints.
+The purpose of this script is to demonstrate fetching these values
+from the DTrace language.
+
+The first field is the 1 minute average, the second is the 5 minute,
+and the third is the 15 minute average. The value represents the average
+number of runnable threads in the system, a value higher than your
+CPU (core/hwthread) count may be a sign of CPU 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
+unstable - uses kernel symbols, which may change for a future version
+of this OS.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.TP
+Print load averages,
+#
+.B loads.d
+.PP
+.SH DOCUMENTATION
+See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the
+Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked
+examples with verbose descriptions explaining the output.
