+    @variable  nr_files:int        The number of allocated file handles, i.e.,
+                                   the number of files presently opened
+    @variable  nr_free_files:int   The number of free file handles
+    @variable  file_max:int        The maximum number of file handles
+    
+    If the number of allocated file handles is close to the maximum,
+    you should consider increasing the maximum. Before Linux 2.6, the
+    kernel allocated file handles dynamically, but it didn't free them
+    again. Instead the free file handles were kept in a list for
+    reallocation; the "free file handles" value indicates the size of
+    that list. A large number of free file handles indicates that there
+    was a past peak in the usage of open file handles. Since Linux 2.6,
+    the kernel does deallocate freed file handles, and the "free file
+    handles" value is always zero.
