          <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

            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.

            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

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

83			</p>
84			<p>
85			This release adds support for FreeBSD 9 and other systems
86			using utmpx. Also on FreeBSD it fixes an issue with large
87			quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically
88			getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS
89			file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU
90			iowait information will be given where available.

104			Version 0.16 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
105			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
106			</p>
107			<p>
108			This release fixes some minor build problems on Solaris
109			with Sun's compiler, and on the Debian "armel" port. Also
110			a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with
111			no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8.
112			</p>
113			<h3>
114	tdb	1.48	Saturday 14 July 2007

118			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
119			</p>
120			<p>
121			This release fixes a regression introduced on OpenBSD in
122			the last release - memory statistics were reported
123			incorrectly. Some other minor changes have been made, see
124			the NEWS file for more information.
125			</p>
126			<h3>
127	tdb	1.45	Monday 8 January 2007
128			</h3>
129			<p>
130			Version 0.14 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
131			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
132			</p>
133			<p>
134			This release contains mainly bugfixes - see the NEWS file
135	tdb	1.46	in the distribution for a full list. It also brings a new
136			feature in saidar: colour support, which can be activated
137			with the -c runtime flag.

140	tdb	1.43	Monday 20 March 2006

144			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
145			</p>
146			<p>
147			This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but
148			also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also
149			added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking
150			easier. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for
151			full details.
152			</p>
153			<h3>
154	tdb	1.40	Sunday 31 July 2005

156			<p>
157			Version 0.12 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
158			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
159			</p>
160			<p>
161			This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
162			API change. More details have been added to the file
163			system statistics, linux partition detection has been
164			reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
165			Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
166			There are also manual pages for all the tools.
167			</p>
168			<p>
169			The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
170			changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
171			We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
172			the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
173			defined.

199			full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative
200			filesystem stats incorrectly, and NFS filesystems were
201			ignored. These have all been fixed.

231	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
232	tdb	1.28	</p>
233			<p>

238	tdb	1.27	Monday 26 July 2004

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