+ <p>
+ 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 statistics includes CPU
+ usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts,
+ network traffic, disk I/O, and more.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The package also includes a couple of useful tools. The
+ first, <a href="#screenshot">saidar</a>, provides a
+ curses-based interface to viewing the current state of the
+ system. The second, statgrab, gives a sysctl-style
+ interface to the statistics gathered by libstatgrab. This
+ extends the use of libstatgrab to people writing scripts or
+ anything else that can't easily make C function calls.
+ Included with statgrab is a script to generate an
+ <a href="http://www.mrtg.org">MRTG</a> configuration file
+ to use statgrab.

+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This release has some new features, bug fixes, and a minor

+ The duplex value in the network interface statistics has

+ We plan to stabilise the API for a 1.0 release. As before,
