1998-07-29 Martin Baulig <martin@home-of-linux.org> * guile/ChangeLog: New file. * features.def: New format - now includes type of return value and parameters. * lib/lib.awk: Changed to use new `features.def'. * sysdeps/guile/guile.awk: Dito; * sysdeps/guile/names/guile-names.awk: Dito. * libgtopConf.sh.in: Added `LIBGTOP_NAMES_LIBS', `LIBGTOP_NAMES_INCS', `LIBGTOP_GUILE_NAMES_LIBS', `LIBGTOP_GUILE_NAMES_INCS', `LIBGTOP_MAJOR_VERSION', `LIBGTOP_MINOR_VERSION' `LIBGTOP_VERSION', `libgtop_sysdeps_dir'. * acinclude.m4 (AC_LC_SYSDEPS): Removed since this has been replaced with `GNOME_LIBGTOP_SYSDEPS' long ago. * LIBGTOP-VERSION: New file. * */Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Removed; now defined in `configure.in'. * sysdeps/names/mountlist.c: New file. * lib/{init, open}.c (GTOP_SERVER): Renamed to `LIBGTOP_SERVER'. * configure.in (INCLUDES): Added definition. (libgtop_want_names): Always true; `libgtop_names.la' is now always created since some other programs rely upon it - but have to use `LIBGTOP_NAMES_LIBS' and `LIBGTOP_NAMES_INCS' to use it in your application. (libgtop_want_guile_names): Always true; but you have to use `LIBGTOP_GUILE_NAMES_LIBS' and `LIBGTOP_GUILE_NAMES_INCS' to use it in your application. (LIBGTOP_LIBS): Removed `-lgtop_names' and `-lgtop_guile_names'. (LIBGTOP_NAMES_LIBS): New variable. Use it to link your application with the names interface. (LIBGTOP_NAMES_INCS): New variable. Also #defines `GLIBTOP_NAMES' which is now required if your application wants to use the names interface. (LIBGTOP_GUILE_NAMES_LIBS): New variable. Use it to link your application with the guile names interface. (LIBGTOP_GUILE_NAMES_INCS): New variable. Also #defines `GLIBTOP_NAMES' and `GLIBTOP_GUILE_NAMES' which are now required if your application wants to use the guile names interface.
Hi all, [PLEASE READ THE FILE ``README.LATEST'' FOR LATEST NEWS] this is the latest alpha version of libgtop, a library that fetches information about the running system such as cpu and memory usage, active processes etc. On Linux systems, these information are taken directly from the /proc filesystem. For other systems such as Solaris, where such programs need to be suid root (or only setgid kmem/mem on some systems), it provides a suid/setgid server that fetches those information and a client-side library that talks to this server. Main idea was to have the same interface for all operating systems, thus all system dependent details are hidden in the implementation of that server. Currently, it only works for Linux, documentation on how to port it to other systems is on the way. I'm planning to keep this site an up-to-date mirror of my local machine (which is connected to the internet over some expensive dialup connection, so I'll upload it about once every day I made significant changes) so that you can always find the latest version of the software here. I've written a simple guile interface for the library to show which information it can already fetch. See examples/third for details.
