          <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.

            file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU

            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	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.

165			quantities of memory and adds support for dynamically
166			getting a list of supported file systems. On Solaris ZFS
167			file systems will now be detected. And finally on Linux CPU
168			iowait information will be given where available.

188			a minor fix to statgrab-make-mrtg-config on machines with

209			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
210			</p>
211			<p>
212			This release contains mainly bugfixes - see the NEWS file
213	tdb	1.46	in the distribution for a full list. It also brings a new
214			feature in saidar: colour support, which can be activated

224			<p>
225			This release mainly includes a bunch of bug fixes, but
226			also brings preliminary support for WIN32. We've also
227			added a few lines to the header file to make C++ linking

236			Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
237			</p>
238			<p>
239			This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
240			API change. More details have been added to the file
241			system statistics, linux partition detection has been
242			reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
243			Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
244			There are also manual pages for all the tools.
245			</p>
246			<p>
247			The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
248			changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
249			We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
250			the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
251			defined.

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

337			Version 0.10 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
338	tdb	1.29	Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
339	tdb	1.24	</p>
340			<p>
341			This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names
342			of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although
343			this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run
344			we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However,
345			for those who still need the old functions we have provided
346			compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details.
347			</p>
348			<p>
349			The other main change in this release is a new function to
350			provide full details on currently running processes. See the
351			documentation for sg_get_process_stats for details. Along with
352			this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting
353			process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced
354			error reporting functions that allow calling applications to
355			see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error.
356			</p>
357			<p>
358			Finally, we've added support for NetBSD 2.0 and tidied up lots
359			of areas of the code. This release does not include the python
360			bindings - they're now available as their own project called
361			<a href="/pystatgrab/">pystatgrab</a>.
