libstatgrab 0.10 (20 May 2004) |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
* All function and structure names now follow a standardised |
| 9 |
naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing |
| 10 |
programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
#define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED |
| 13 |
#include <statgrab.h> |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* New process stats function added to provide full details |
| 16 |
on currently running processes. See sg_get_process_stats |
| 17 |
for details. |
| 18 |
* Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io |
| 19 |
statistics. These can be used with qsort. |
| 20 |
* Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and |
| 21 |
associated functions. |
| 22 |
* Support added for NetBSD 2.0. |
| 23 |
* Lots of code tidying. |
| 24 |
* Python bindings now exist in a separate package: |
