Platform Specific Notes |
| 27 |
|
======================= |
| 28 |
|
|
| 29 |
+ |
Unless explicitly mentioned below assume that libstatgrab will run on |
| 30 |
+ |
any of the platforms above without any elevated privileges. |
| 31 |
+ |
|
| 32 |
|
Linux |
| 33 |
|
----- |
| 34 |
|
|
| 36 |
|
by the get_network_iface_stats function. Not having these privileges |
| 37 |
|
results in NULL being returned. |
| 38 |
|
|
| 39 |
< |
Also note that this cannot be solved by calling statgrab_init and then |
| 40 |
< |
statgrab_drop_privileges at this stage. |
| 39 |
> |
Also note that this cannot be solved by calling sg_init and then |
| 40 |
> |
sg_drop_privileges at this stage. |
| 41 |
|
|
| 42 |
|
FreeBSD 4 |
| 43 |
|
--------- |
| 44 |
|
|
| 45 |
|
On FreeBSD 4 (not on 5) programs need to be setgid kmem to get swap |
| 46 |
|
statistics. It is sufficient to give a program these privileges, call |
| 47 |
< |
statgrab_init, and then drop the privileges using statgrab_drop_privileges. |
| 47 |
> |
sg_init, and then drop the privileges using sg_drop_privileges. |
| 48 |
|
|
| 49 |
< |
The get_swap_stats function will return NULL if this hasn't been done. |
| 49 |
> |
The sg_get_swap_stats function will return NULL if this hasn't been done. |

|
mapping list (eg. mapping ssd0 on to c0t0d0s0). If these privileges |
| 56 |
|
aren't available the names will be left as ssd0, for example. |
| 57 |
|
|
| 58 |
< |
It is sufficient to use statgrab_init and statgrab_drop_privileges. |
| 58 |
> |
It is sufficient to use sg_init and sg_drop_privileges. |

|
Cygwin |
| 61 |
|
------ |
| 62 |
+ |
|
| 63 |
+ |
Full support for libstatgrab isn't yet provided on cygwin - there are |
| 64 |
+ |
some stats which we just can't get. In these cases the functions will |
| 65 |
+ |
return NULL to indicate failure. |
| 66 |
|
|
| 67 |
|
If you have installed libncurses-devel but the configure script can't |
| 68 |
|
find ncurses.h, you've most likely hit a bug in the cygwin package. To |
