How do you use it? Is the description of each probe available somewhere?

How do I figure out which argument has what value using this information from 'dtrace -lvP vminfo', for example?

19018 vminfo mach_kernel vnode_pagein pgpgin

To refine the question...

pager_return_t vnode_pagein() in xnu-1456.1.26/bsd/vm/vnode_pager.c has this bit

	pages_in_upl = size / PAGE_SIZE;
	DTRACE_VM2(pgpgin, int, pages_in_upl, (uint64_t *), NULL);

which appears to track the number of pages that have been paged in.

Which probe can tell me the address of the pages that are being paged in, though?

	Thanks, Joel
