--- Comment #9 from Allan Jude <allanjude@FreeBSD.org> ---
This doesn't really have anything to do with top(1), and applies to ps(1),
procstat(1), etc as well.

The issue is, whenever some code tells the kernel to sleep or wait, it must
provide a short text string to identify that 'wait channel'. There is no ma=
ster
list, or even a nomenclature for these short strings.

It might be worth trying to make one, but in a separate man page 'waitchan'=
 or
something
