 The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 50 | 
 + | 
 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 51 | 
 + | 
 function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 52 | 
 + | 
 libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 53 | 
 + | 
 and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally, | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 54 | 
 + | 
 saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 55 | 
 + | 
 statistics. |

 The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 114 | 
 < | 
 provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |

 < | 
 system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 116 | 
 < | 
 statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 117 | 
 < | 
 libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't | 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 | 118 |

 easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
