45     <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
46     Version 0.8.1 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-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
49     This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
50     fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
51     disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
52     Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
53     released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

58     Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
59     Download it

61     This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
62     On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
63     than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
64     in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
65     quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
66     operating systems.

74     The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
75     1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
76     function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
77 tdb 1.11 libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
78     and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally,
79     saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
80 tdb 1.10 statistics.

111     <b>Monday 25 August 2003</b><br><br>
112     We're pleased to announce a new release of libstatgrab.<br>
113     You can download version 0.5 from
114     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.5.tar.gz">here</a>.
115     This release provides both documentation and examples, which
116     we hope will make the package more useable. Stay tuned for the
117     next release with some useful tools.

120     <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a>
121    
122     <p>
123     libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
124     statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
125     presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
126     key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
127     usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network
128     traffic, disk I/O, and more.
129     </p>
130    
131     <p>
132 tdb 1.10 The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, FreeBSD
133     4.x/5.x, and NetBSD 1.6.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many
134     operating systems as possible.
135 tdb 1.1 </p>
136    
137     <p>
138 tdb 1.8 The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first,
139     <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to
140     viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a
141     sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
142     extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything
143     else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is
144     a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a>
145     configuration file to use statgrab.

148     <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>
149    
150     <p>
151     The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our
152     primary download
153     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>.
154     All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>.
155     </p>
156    
157     <p>
158     For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files
159     contained within the archive. If you're using
160     <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the
161     <a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a>
162     port to install libstatgrab for you.
163     </p>
164    
165     <a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a>
166    
167     <p>
168     The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
169     pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with
170     the overview manual page:
171    
172     <ul>
173     <li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li>
174     </ul>
175     </p>
176    
177     <p>
178     Then we have the manual pages for each function:
179    
180     <ul>
181     <li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li>
182     <li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li>
183     <li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li>
184     <li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li>
185     <li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li>
186     <li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li>
187     <li><a href="get_page_stats.html">get_page_stats(3)</a></li>
188     <li><a href="get_process_stats.html">get_process_stats(3)</a></li>
189     <li><a href="get_user_stats.html">get_user_stats(3)</a></li>
