So where is that?

That looks to me like the PID, the user, the priority, how nice the PID
s, the virtual memory, the resident memory, the shared memory, it's
state, cpu %, memory %, running time and then the PIDs name.

Where in that list is similar info about disk IO?
I don't see how many pages a given process is writing to disk with the
exception of SWAP.

I could be wrong but you either misunderstood what I was asking for or
you are wrong.
