+The amount of time, measured in units of
+USER_HZ (1/100ths of a second on most architectures, use
+.I sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK)
+to obtain the right value),
+.\" 1024 on Alpha and ia64
+that the system ("cpu" line) or the specific CPU ("cpu\fIN\fR" line)
+spent in various states:
+.RS
+.TP
+.I user
+(1) Time spent in user mode.
+.TP
+.I nice
+(2) Time spent in user mode with low priority (nice).
+.TP
+.I system
+(3) Time spent in system mode.
+.TP
+.I idle
+(4) Time spent in the idle task.
+.\" FIXME . Actually, the following info about the /proc/stat 'cpu' field
+.\" does not seem to be quite right (at least in Linux 2.6.12 or Linux 3.6):
+.\" the idle time in /proc/uptime does not quite match this value
+This value should be USER_HZ times the
+second entry in the
+.I /proc/uptime
+pseudo-file.
+.TP
+.IR iowait " (since Linux 2.5.41)"
+(5) Time waiting for I/O to complete.
+This value is not reliable, for the following reasons:
+.\" See kernel commit 9c240d757658a3ae9968dd309e674c61f07c7f48
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 3
+The CPU will not wait for I/O to complete;
+iowait is the time that a task is waiting for I/O to complete.
+When a CPU goes into idle state for outstanding task I/O,
+another task will be scheduled on this CPU.
+.IP \[bu]
+On a multi-core CPU,
+the task waiting for I/O to complete is not running on any CPU,
+so the iowait of each CPU is difficult to calculate.
+.IP \[bu]
+The value in this field may
+.I decrease
+in certain conditions.
