Platform Specific Notes |
| 26 |
|
|
======================= |
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
Linux |
| 29 |
|
|
----- |
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
On Linux root privileges are required to get the statistics returned |
| 32 |
|
|
by the get_network_iface_stats function. Not having these privileges |
| 33 |
|
|
results in NULL being returned. |
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
|
Also note that this cannot be solved by calling statgrab_init and then |
| 36 |
|
|
statgrab_drop_privileges at this stage. |
| 37 |
|
|
|
| 38 |
|
|
FreeBSD 4 |
| 39 |
|
|
--------- |
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
On FreeBSD 4 (not on 5) programs need to be setgid kmem to get swap |
| 42 |
|
|
statistics. It is sufficient to give a program these privileges, call |
| 43 |
|
|
statgrab_init, and then drop the privileges using statgrab_drop_privileges. |
| 44 |
|
|
|
| 45 |
|
|
The get_swap_stats function will return NULL if this hasn't been done. |
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
Solaris 2.6/2.7 |
| 48 |
|
|
--------------- |
| 49 |
|
|
|
| 50 |
|
|
On Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 root privileges are required to build the drive |
| 51 |
|
|
mapping list (eg. mapping ssd0 on to c0t0d0s0). If these privileges |
| 52 |
|
|
aren't available the names will be left as ssd0, for example. |
| 53 |
|
|
|
| 54 |
|
|
It is sufficient to use statgrab_init and statgrab_drop_privileges. |
| 55 |
|
|
|
| 56 |
|
|
Cygwin |
| 57 |
|
|
------ |
| 58 |
|
|
|
| 59 |
|
|
If you have installed libncurses-devel but the configure script can't |
| 60 |
|
|
find ncurses.h, you've most likely hit a bug in the cygwin package. To |
| 61 |
|
|
fix this run: /etc/postinstall/libncurses-devel.sh.done |
| 62 |
|
|
