45     <b>Wednesday 11 February 2004</b><br><br>
46     Version 0.8.2 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-0.8.2.tar.gz">here</a>.
49     The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6. We've also
50     add python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly from python (see the
51     extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a few bits of the code.

55     <b>Wednesday 21 January 2004</b><br><br>
56     Version 0.8.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
57     Download it
58     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
59     This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
60     fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
61     disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
62     Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
63     released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

67     <b>Tuesday 6 January 2004</b><br><br>
68     Version 0.8 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>
69     Download it
70     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
71     This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
72     On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
73     than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
74     in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
75     quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
76     operating systems.

80 tdb 1.10 <b>Wednesday 22 October 2003</b><br><br>
81     Version 0.7 of libstatgrab has been released.<br>

83     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.7.tar.gz">here</a>.
84     The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
85     1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
86     function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
87 tdb 1.11 libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
88     and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. Finally,
89     saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't get all the
90 tdb 1.10 statistics.

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

130     <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a>
131    
132     <p>
133     libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
134     statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
135     presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
136     key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
137     usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network
138     traffic, disk I/O, and more.
139     </p>
140    
141     <p>
142 tdb 1.10 The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, FreeBSD
143     4.x/5.x, and NetBSD 1.6.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many
144     operating systems as possible.
145 tdb 1.1 </p>
146    
147     <p>
148 tdb 1.8 The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first,
149     <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to
150     viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a
151     sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
152     extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything
153     else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is
154     a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a>
155     configuration file to use statgrab.
156 tdb 1.1 </p>
157    
158     <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>
159    
160     <p>
161     The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our
162     primary download
163     <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab">mirror</a>.
164     All downloads are pgp signed using our <a href="/pgpkey.shtml">PGP Key</a>.
165     </p>
166    
167     <p>
168     For installation instructions see the README and INSTALL files
169     contained within the archive. If you're using
170     <a href="http://www.freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a> you can make use of the
171     <a href="http://www.freshports.org/devel/libstatgrab">devel/libstatgrab</a>
172     port to install libstatgrab for you.
173     </p>
174    
175     <a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a>
176    
177     <p>
178     The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
179     pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with
180     the overview manual page:
181    
182     <ul>
183     <li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li>
184     </ul>
185     </p>
186    
187     <p>
188     Then we have the manual pages for each function:
189    
190     <ul>
191     <li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li>
192     <li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li>
193     <li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li>
194     <li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li>
195     <li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li>
196     <li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li>
197     <li><a href="get_page_stats.html">get_page_stats(3)</a></li>
198     <li><a href="get_process_stats.html">get_process_stats(3)</a></li>
199     <li><a href="get_user_stats.html">get_user_stats(3)</a></li>
