          <p>
            libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
            access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
            It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
            interfaces which can be used to access key system
            statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
            usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
            network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
          </p>
          <p>
            The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
            2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
            DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend
            this to include as many operating systems as possible.
          </p>
          <p>
            The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
            first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
            curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
            system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
            interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
            extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
            anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
            Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
            <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
            to use statgrab.

            This release adds support for FreeBSD 9 and other systems
            using utmpx. Also on FreeBSD it fixes an issue with large
            quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically
            getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS
            file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU
            iowait information will be given where available.

            system statistics, linux partition detection has been
            reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
            Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
            There are also manual pages for all the tools.

            The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
            changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
            We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
            the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
            defined.

            This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes.
            We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and
            NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab
            that broke network statistics on Solaris. New
            variables have been added to the pkg-config file to
            suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and
            we've added error reporting functions that store errno
            values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the
            NEWS file.

          <p>
            This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names
            of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although
            this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run
            we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However,
            for those who still need the old functions we have provided
            compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details.
          </p>
          <p>
            The other main change in this release is a new function to
            provide full details on currently running processes. See the
            documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with
            this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
            process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced
            error reporting functions that allow calling applications to
            see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error.
          </p>
          <p>
            Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots
            of areas of the code. This release does not include the python
            bindings - they're now available as their own project called

48			<p>
49			libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
50			access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
51			It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
52			interfaces which can be used to access key system
53			statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
54			usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
55			network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
56			</p>
57			<p>
58			The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
59			2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
60			DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend
61			this to include as many operating systems as possible.
62			</p>
63			<p>
64			The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
65			first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
66			curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
67			system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
68			interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
69			extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
70			anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
71			Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
72			<a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
73			to use statgrab.

84	tdb	1.52	Sunday 21 February 2010
85			</h3>
86			<p>
87			Version 0.17 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
88			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
89			</p>
90			<p>
91			This release adds support for FreeBSD 9 and other systems
92			using utmpx. Also on FreeBSD it fixes an issue with large
93			quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically
94			getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS
95			file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU
96			iowait information will be given where available.

106			<h3>
107	tdb	1.50	Monday 17 March 2008
108			</h3>
109			<p>
110			Version 0.16 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
111			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
112			</p>
113			<p>
114			This release fixes some minor build problems on Solaris
115			with Sun's compiler, and on the Debian "armel" port. Also
116			a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with
117			no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8.
118			</p>
119			<h3>
120	tdb	1.48	Saturday 14 July 2007
121			</h3>
122			<p>
123			Version 0.15 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
124			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
125			</p>
126			<p>
127			This release fixes a regression introduced on OpenBSD in
128			the last release - memory statistics were reported
129			incorrectly. Some other minor changes have been made, see
130			the NEWS file for more information.
131			</p>
132			<h3>
133	tdb	1.45	Monday 8 January 2007
134			</h3>
135			<p>
136			Version 0.14 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
137			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
138			</p>
139			<p>
140			This release contains mainly bugfixes - see the NEWS file
141	tdb	1.46	in the distribution for a full list. It also brings a new
142			feature in saidar: colour support, which can be activated
143			with the -c runtime flag.
144	tdb	1.45	</p>
145			<h3>
146	tdb	1.43	Monday 20 March 2006
147			</h3>
148			<p>
149			Version 0.13 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
150			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
151			</p>
152			<p>
153			This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but
154			also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also
155			added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking
156			easier. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for
157			full details.
158			</p>
159			<h3>
160	tdb	1.40	Sunday 31 July 2005
161			</h3>
162			<p>
163			Version 0.12 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
164			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
165			</p>
166			<p>
167			This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
168			API change. More details have been added to the file
169			system statistics, linux partition detection has been
170			reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
171			Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
172			There are also manual pages for all the tools.
173			</p>
174			<p>
175			The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
176			changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
177			We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
178			the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
179			defined.
180			</p>

203			This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex
204			settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and
205			full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative
206			filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were
207			ignored. These have all been fixed.

229			adds support for FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT. See the NEWS file in
230			the tarball for more details.

243			<h3>
244	tdb	1.27	Monday 26 July 2004

247			Version 0.10.1 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
248	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
249	tdb	1.27	</p>
250			<p>
251			This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes.
252			We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and
253			NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab
254			that broke network statistics on Solaris. New
255			variables have been added to the pkg-config file to
256			suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and
257			we've added error reporting functions that store errno
258			values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the
259			NEWS file.
260			</p>
261			<h3>
262	tdb	1.24	Thursday 20 May 2004
263			</h3>
264			<p>
265			Version 0.10 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
266	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
267	tdb	1.24	</p>
268			<p>
269			This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names
270			of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although
271			this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run
272			we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However,
273			for those who still need the old functions we have provided
274			compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details.
275			</p>
276			<p>
277			The other main change in this release is a new function to
278			provide full details on currently running processes. See the
279			documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with
280			this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
281			process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced
282			error reporting functions that allow calling applications to
283			see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error.
284			</p>
285			<p>
286			Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots
287			of areas of the code. This release does not include the python
288			bindings - they're now available as their own project called
289			<a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>.
