55 <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.

83 <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>

100 <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>
