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.

86 +            Version 0.12 of libstatgrab has been released.<br />
87 +            Download it from one of our <a href="/mirrors.xhtml">mirrors</a>.
88 +          </p>
89 +          <p>
90 +            This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor
91 +            API change. More details have been added to the file
92 +            system statistics, linux partition detection has been
93 +            reworked, and compile errors on Linux 2.6 have been fixed.
94 +            Support has been added for Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 7.
95 +            There are also manual pages for all the tools.
96 +          </p>
97 +          <p>
98 +            The duplex value in the network interface statistics has
99 +            changed name from "dup" to "duplex" - this breaks the API.
100 +            We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
101 +            the old name is available if SG_ENABLE_DEPRECATED is
102 +            defined.
