Hi Fernando,

      The original idea with stats(7) was to list all of the commands
      ending in -stat and which can be used for basic understanding of
      what the system is doing at any given time.

      In addition to this, dwatch(1) doesn't even work without loading
      the dtrace kernel module (as is expected, given the name of the
      command), but it's also intended for pretty deep inspection (the
      (in)famous example being that root can snoop on users passwords).

      I'm not saying it should be reverted, but maybe there's a better
      manual page for this that it could be added to instead?

Yours hopefully,
Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
