Description-en: Portable file system cache diagnostics and control
vmtouch is a tool for learning about and controlling the file system cache of
unix and unix-like systems. It can discover which files the OS is caching, tell
the OS to cache or evict some files or regions of files, lock files into memory
so the OS won't evict them, and more.
