+# pidstat(1)
+
+Trace minor/major page faults.
+```markdown
+pidstat -r -p <pid> [interval]
+ minor_pagefault: happens when the page needed is already in memory but not
+ allocated to the faulting process, in that case the kernel
+ only has to create a new page-table entry pointing to the
+ shared physical page
+ major_pagefault: happends when the page needed is NOT in memory, the kernel
+ has to create a new page-table entry and populate the
+ physical page
