Load Averages
=============

$Id: load_average.txt,v 1.2 2003/08/24 20:24:08 tdb Exp $

Data Structure
--------------

The structure returned is of type load_stat_t and looks like this:

typedef struct{
        double min1;
        double min5;
        double min15;
}load_stat_t;

min1    The load average over 1 minute.
min5    The load average over 5 minutes.
min15   The load average over 15 minutes.

Functions
---------

load_stat_t *get_load_stats();

This call returns a static buffer of load_stat_t.

On most systems this function is just a wrapper to the getloadavg
system call.

Example
-------

An example can be found in examples/load_stats.c
