| 20 |
+ |
large or small numbers so that mrtg can handle them. |
| 21 |
+ |

| 22 |
+ |
speeds. |
| 23 |
+ |

+ |
programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions: |
| 49 |
+ |
|
| 50 |
+ |
#define SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED |

+ |
#include <statgrab.h> |
| 52 |

| 55 |
+ |
for details. |

+ |
* Compare functions provided for process, network, and disk io |
| 57 |
+ |
statistics. These can be used with qsort. |

+ |
* Error reporting functions added. See sg_get_error and |
| 59 |
+ |
associated functions. |
| 60 |
+ |
* Support added for NetBSD 2.0. |
| 61 |
+ |
* Lots of code tidying. |

| 77 |
+ |
|
