          <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 supported and tested platforms
            includes FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris,
            DragonFly BSD, HP-UX and AIX. We are always happy to
            accept patches to extend support to other operating
            systems.
          </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.

            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

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	tdb	1.56	The current list of supported and tested platforms
58			includes FreeBSD, Linux, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris,
59			DragonFly BSD, HP-UX and AIX. We are always happy to
60			accept patches to extend support to other operating
61			systems.
62	tdb	1.37	</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.

90			support the changes.
91			</p>
92			<p>
93			There are a large number of changes in this version of
94			libstatgrab. Here is an overview:
95			</p>
96			<ul>
97			<li>Thread safety and reentrant functions.</li>
98			<li>API unification (every stats call is now able to
99			return multiple entries).</li>
100			<li>Complete rewrite of internal memory management (eases
101			future extensions).</li>
102			<li>Add experimental support for tracing using log4cplus.</li>
103			<li>Complete the ports for AIX, HP-UX and most of the
104			widely used BSD-based operating systems.</li>
105			<li>Complete the port for Darwin/MacOS X including basic
106			Mach.</li>
107			<li>Clean up the FreeBSD and Solaris implementations.</li>
108			<li>Clean up the FreeBSD and Solaris implementations.</li>

151			<p>
152			This release fixes some minor build problems on Solaris
153			with Sun's compiler, and on the Debian "armel" port. Also
154			a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with
155			no swap, and added support for FreeBSD 8.

175			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
176			</p>
177			<p>
178			This release contains mainly bugfixes - see the NEWS file
179	tdb	1.46	in the distribution for a full list. It also brings a new
180			feature in saidar: colour support, which can be activated
181			with the -c runtime flag.

190			<p>
191			This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but
192			also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also
193			added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking
194			easier. Please see the NEWS file in the distribution for

202			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
203			</p>
204			<p>
205			This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
206			API change. More details have been added to the file
207			system statistics, linux partition detection has been
208			reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
209			Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.

211			</p>
212			<p>
213			The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
214			changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
215			We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
216			the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
217			defined.

286	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
287	tdb	1.27	</p>
288			<p>
289			This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes.
290			We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and
291			NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab
292			that broke network statistics on Solaris. New
293			variables have been added to the pkg-config file to
294			suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and
295			we've added error reporting functions that store errno
296			values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the
297			NEWS file.

304	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
305	tdb	1.24	</p>
306			<p>
307			This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names
308			of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although
309			this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run
310			we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However,
311			for those who still need the old functions we have provided
312			compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details.
313			</p>
314			<p>
315			The other main change in this release is a new function to
316			provide full details on currently running processes. See the
317			documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with
318			this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
319			process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced
320			error reporting functions that allow calling applications to
321			see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error.
322			</p>
323			<p>
324			Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots
325			of areas of the code. This release does not include the python
326			bindings - they're now available as their own project called
327			<a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>.
