45 tdb 1.10 <b>Wednesday 22 October 2003</b><br><br>
46     Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
47     Download it
48     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
49     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 tdb 1.11 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 tdb 1.10 statistics.

95     <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a>
96    
97     <p>
98     libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
99     statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
100     presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
101     key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
102     usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network
103     traffic, disk I/O, and more.
104     </p>
105    
106     <p>
107 tdb 1.10 The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, FreeBSD
108     4.x/5.x, and NetBSD 1.6.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many
109     operating systems as possible.
110 tdb 1.1 </p>
111    
112     <p>
113 tdb 1.8 The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first,
114     <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to
115     viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a
116     sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
117     extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything
118     else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is
119     a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a>
120     configuration file to use statgrab.
121 tdb 1.1 </p>
122    
123     <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>
124    
125     <p>
126     The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our
127     primary download
128     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>.
129     All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>.
130     </p>
131    
132     <p>
133     For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files
134     contained within the archive. If you're using
135     <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the
136     <a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a>
137     port to install libstatgrab for you.
138     </p>
139    
140     <a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a>
141    
142     <p>
143     The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
144     pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with
145     the overview manual page:
146    
147     <ul>
148     <li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li>
149     </ul>
150     </p>
151    
152     <p>
153     Then we have the manual pages for each function:
154    
155     <ul>
156     <li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li>
157     <li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li>
158     <li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li>
159     <li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li>
160     <li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li>
161     <li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li>
162     <li><a href="get_page_stats.html">get_page_stats(3)</a></li>
163     <li><a href="get_process_stats.html">get_process_stats(3)</a></li>
164     <li><a href="get_user_stats.html">get_user_stats(3)</a></li>
165     </ul>
