49 < This release brings new features and new platforms. We've added
50 < information about network interfaces (duplex, speed, etc) along
51 < with further statistics such as i/o packets and i/o errors. Support
52 < has also been added for OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD. Finally some
53 < work has been done to reduce the platforms on which libstatgrab
54 < needs elevated privileges. See the NEWS file for more information.

62 < The main focus of this release is adding support for Solaris 6.
63 < We've also added python bindings so you can use libstatgrab directly
64 < from python (see the extras directory). Finally, we've tidied up a
65 < few bits of the code.

72 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.1.tar.gz">here</a>.
73 < This release primarily fixes bugs. On Linux a file descriptor leak was
74 < fixed. On Solaris some significant speed increases were made to the
75 < disk mapping code, along with some bug fixes for Solaris 7 platforms.
76 < Also, the library part of libstatgrab (but not the tools) is now
77 < released under the LGPL instead of the GPL.

84 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.8.tar.gz">here</a>.
85 < This release brings support for Linux 2.6 and partial support for Cygwin.
86 < On Solaris libstatgrab now returns disk names using cNtNdNsN names rather
87 < than the older sdN names. There are also a bunch of fixes and optimisations
88 < in various places. Finally, a new function has been added to make it
89 < quicker to drop any elevated privileges libstatgrab may require on some
90 < operating systems.

98 < The most significant change in this release is support for NetBSD
99 < 1.6.x. Parts of the FreeBSD code have been optimised, and an initialise
100 < function has been added to allow programs to drop any extra privileges
101 < libstatgrab needs. The list of known file systems has been increased,
102 < and libstatgrab has been tested on even more platforms.  Finally,

136 < We're pleased to announce a new release of libstatgrab.<br>
137 < You can download version 0.5 from
138 < <a href="http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.i-scream.org/pub/i-scream/libstatgrab/libstatgrab-0.5.tar.gz">here</a>.
139 < This release provides both documentation and examples, which
140 < we hope will make the package more useable. Stay tuned for the
141 < next release with some useful tools.
142 < </p>
143 <
144 < <a name="what"><h2>What is libstatgrab?</h2></a>
145 <
146 < <p>
147 < libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
148 < statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
149 < presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
150 < key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
151 < usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network
152 < traffic, disk I/O, and more.
153 < </p>
154 <
155 < <p>
156 < The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux 2.2/2.4/2.6,
157 < FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, DragonFly BSD 1.0, and
158 < Cygwin. The aim is to extend this to include as many operating
159 < systems as possible.
160 < </p>
161 <
162 < <p>
163 < The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The first,
164 < <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a curses-based interface to
165 < viewing the current state of the system. The second, statgrab, gives a
166 < sysctl-style interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
167 < extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or anything
168 < else that can't easily make C function calls. Included with statgrab is
169 < a script to generate an <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a>
170 < configuration file to use statgrab.
171 < </p>
172 <
173 < <a name="download"><h2>Downloading</h2></a>

175 < <p>
176 < The latest version of libstatgrab can be downloaded from our

191 <
192 < <p>
193 < The only online documentation we have at the moment is the manual
194 < pages converted in to HTML format. It's probably best to start with

198 < <li><a href="statgrab.html">statgrab(3)</a></li>
199 < </ul>
200 < </p>
201 <
202 < <p>
203 < Then we have the manual pages for each function:

205 < <ul>
206 < <li><a href="cpu_percent_usage.html">cpu_percent_usage(3)</a></li>
207 < <li><a href="get_diskio_stats.html">get_diskio_stats(3)</a></li>

199 >            libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform
200 >            access to statistics about the system on which it's run.
201 >            It's written in C and presents a selection of useful
202 >            interfaces which can be used to access key system
203 >            statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
204 >            usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
205 >            network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
206 >          </p>
207 >          <p>
208 >            The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux
209 >            2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x,
210 >            DragonFly BSD 1.0, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend this to
211 >            include as many operating systems as possible.

214 >            The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
215 >            first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
216 >            curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
217 >            system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
218 >            interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
219 >            extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
220 >            anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
221 >            Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
222 >            <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
223 >            to use statgrab.
