Performance

Is there a way of getting per process I/O statistics on AIX, i.e. to get current disk I/O rate of a process? Commands like iostat, nmon, topas etc. can't display such data. Filemon also doesn't help. Actually, what I would need is something much like iotop(1) command on Linux.

Update: it seems there is no builtin command(s) to do this. I will most probably make my own by using the SPMI API.
