33     <title>Description</title>
34     <para>
35     <command>statgrab</command> provides a sysctl-style interface to all
36     the system statistics available through libstatgrab. This is useful
37     for applications that don't want to make library calls, but still
38     want to access the statistics.
39     </para>
40     <para>
41     An example of such an application is mrtg, for which scripts are
42     provided to generate configuration files.
