+ libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform + access to statistics about the system on which it's run. + It's written in C and presents a selection of useful + interfaces which can be used to access key system + statistics.

++ The current list of platforms is Solaris 2.x, Linux + 2.2/2.4/2.6, FreeBSD 4.x/5.x, NetBSD 1.6.x, OpenBSD 3.x, + DragonFly BSD 1.0, HP-UX, and Cygwin. The aim is to extend + this to include as many operating systems as possible. +
++ The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The + first, saidar, provides a + curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the + system.
