<a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a> |
56 |
|
57 |
<p> |
58 |
libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to |
59 |
statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and |
60 |
presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access |
61 |
key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU |
62 |
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network |
63 |
traffic, disk I/O, and more. |
64 |
</p> |
65 |
|
66 |
<p> |
67 |
The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.4, and FreeBSD |
68 |
4.x. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating systems as |
69 |
possible. |
70 |
</p> |
71 |
|
72 |
<p> |
73 |
The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first, saidar, |
74 |
provides a curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the |
75 |
system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style interface to the |
76 |
statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This extends the use of |
77 |
libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything else that can't |
78 |
easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is a script to |
79 |
generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file |
80 |
to use statgrab. |

<a name="documentation"><h2>Documentation</h2></a> |
101 |
|
102 |
<p> |
103 |
The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual |
104 |
pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with |
105 |
the overview manual page: |
106 |
|
107 |
<ul> |
108 |
<li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li> |
109 |
</ul> |
110 |
</p> |
111 |
|
112 |
<p> |
113 |
Then we have the manual pages for each function: |
114 |
|
115 |
<ul> |
116 |
<li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li> |
117 |
<li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li> |
118 |
<li><a href="get_general_stats.html">get_general_stats(3)</a></li> |
119 |
<li><a href="get_load_stats.html">get_load_stats(3)</a></li> |
120 |
<li><a href="get_memory_stats.html">get_memory_stats(3)</a></li> |
121 |
<li><a href="get_network_stats.html">get_network_stats(3)</a></li> |
122 |
<li><a href="get_page_stats.html">get_page_stats(3)</a></li> |
123 |
<li><a href="get_process_stats.html">get_process_stats(3)</a></li> |
124 |
<li><a href="get_user_stats.html">get_user_stats(3)</a></li> |
125 |
</ul> |
