    <title>Description</title>
    <para>
      The <function>sg_get_process_stats</function> takes a pointer to
      an int, <parameter>entries</parameter>, which is filled with the
      number of processes the snapshot contains. A pointer to the first
      entry, of type <structname>sg_process_stats</structname> is
      returned, and <parameter>entries</parameter> can be used to iterate
      through to the last entry.
    </para>
    <para>
      <function>sg_get_process_count</function> returns a pointer to a
      static buffer of type <structname>sg_process_count</structname>.
    </para>
    <para>
      These two functions provide information on the process running
      on the system. In the first case lots of detail is provided, and
      in the second case a summary of the states of the current processes.

Branch:	MAIN
Changes since 1.6:	+185 -7 lines
Log Message:	Document the new process stats code a bit, and the error reporting code. No mention of the sorting stuff, because I'm not sure how that works. That's it for new stuff - assuming I haven't missed anything.
