The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux |

<p> |
63 |
< |
This release concentrates heavily on standardising the names |
64 |
< |
of functions and structures throughout libstatgrab. Although |
65 |
< |
this will mean changes for existing programs, in the long run |
66 |
< |
we hope it'll make things both clearer and easier. However, |
67 |
< |
for those who still need the old functions we have provided |
68 |
< |
compatibility wrappers. See the NEWS file for details. |
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. |

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 |
70 |
< |
this there are compare functions for use with qsort for sorting |
71 |
< |
process, network, and disk io statistics. We've also introduced |
72 |
< |
error reporting functions that allow calling applications to |
73 |

see why libstatgrab has returned a failure. See sg_get_error. |

This release fixes a handful of minor bugs. Duplex |
91 |

settings were reported incorrectly on linux (half and |
92 |

full duplex were swapped), saidar displayed negative |
93 |

This release brings new features and new platforms. We've |
100 |
– |
added information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, |
101 |
– |
etc) along with further statistics such as i/o packets, i/o |
102 |
– |
errors, and collisions. Support has also been added for |
103 |
– |
OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some work has been done |
104 |
– |
to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab needs elevated |
105 |
– |
privileges. See the NEWS file for more information. |

libstatgrab directly from Python (see the extras |

This release brings support for HP-UX (version 11.11), and |

There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations in |

The most significant change in this release is support for |

NetBSD 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been |
140 |
< |
optimised, and an initialise function has been added to |
141 |
< |
allow programs to drop any extra privileges libstatgrab |
142 |
< |
needs. The list of known file systems has been increased, |
143 |
< |
and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms. |
144 |
< |
Finally, saidar has been tweaked to work even if it can't |
145 |
< |
get all the statistics. |
138 |

This release consists almost entirely of bugfixes. |
139 |

We've fixed compile-time errors for recent OpenBSD and |
140 |

NetBSD platforms, and also a minor bug in statgrab |
141 |

that broke network statistics on Solaris. New |
142 |

variables have been added to the pkg-config file to |
143 |

suggest ownership and permissions of binaries, and |
144 |

we've added error reporting functions that store errno |
145 |

values. There's also other minor fixes detailed in the |

NEWS file. |

These are various pre-packaged versions of libstatgrab |
