|
| 12 |
|
|
* Use DESTDIR correctly when setting permissions at install time. |
| 13 |
|
|
* Fix disk stats to work with OpenBSD 3.5. |
| 14 |
|
|
* Fix disk stats on NetBSD 2.0 (statvfs instead of statfs). |
| 15 |
|
|
* Fix memory leak in process stats on NetBSD 2.0. |
| 16 |
ats |
1.28 |
* Add vxfs (Veritas filesystem) to list of known filesystems |
| 17 |
tdb |
1.27 |
on Solaris. |
| 18 |
|
|

| 19 |
|
|
ownership and permissions for binaries using libstatgrab. |
| 20 |
ats |
1.28 |
* Make sure statgrab.h can safely be included twice. |
| 21 |
tdb |
1.27 |
* Fix statgrab to display network interface names even if they |

libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004) |
| 26 |
|
|
|
| 27 |
|
|
* All function and structure names now follow a standardised |
| 28 |
|
|
naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing |
| 29 |
|
|
programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions: |
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
#define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED |
| 32 |
|
|
#include <statgrab.h> |
| 33 |
|
|
|
| 34 |
|
|
* New process stats function added to provide full details |
| 35 |
|
|
on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats |
| 36 |
|
|
for details. |
| 37 |
|
|
* Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io |
| 38 |
|
|
statistics. These can be used with qsort. |
| 39 |
|
|
* Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and |
| 40 |
|
|
associated functions. |
| 41 |
|
|
* Support added for NetBSD 2.0. |
| 42 |
|
|
* Lots of code tidying. |
| 43 |
