-
-About this release:
-------------------
-
-LibGTop 0.25 is a stable release.
-
-Of cause it has its bug like any software has, I'm planning
-to fix as many bugs as possible in _this_ release and then
-re-release it as libgtop-0.26 or even libgtop-0.30.
-
-Especially portings to new operating systems should be made
-in this release.
-
-This also means that we can safely use this version of LibGTop
-all over the GNOME project.
-
-Currently LibGTop-Apps is still a little bit under development -
-especially the LibGTop-Apps GTop does not yet have the full
-functionallity of the real GTop.
-
-We should test this extensively and then decide whether to continue
-with the `libgtop-apps' module or whether to merge all its code
-back into the modules it came from. I'd like to hear some comments
-about this from you !
-
-Please look at the release notes below for more details about this
-release.
-
-Where to get the sources
-------------------------
-
-The sources can be found at:
-
- ftp://ftp.home-of-linux.org/pub/
-
-Tarballs:
-
- libgtop-0.25.0.tar.gz
- libgtop-apps-0.25.0.tar.gz
-
-Source RPM:
-
- libgtop-0.25.0-REL.src.rpm
- libgtop-apps-0.25.0-REL.src.rpm
-
-Binary RPMS:
-
- libgtop-0.25.0-REL.i386.rpm
- libgtop-devel-0.25.0-REL.i386.rpm
- libgtop-examples-0.25.0-REL.i386.rpm
- libgtop-apps-0.25.0-REL.i386.rpm
-
-There is some little problem with the binary RPMS of `libgtop-apps':
-
-Most of its files will conflict with ones from `gnome-core' and `gnome-utils',
-so you'll need to use the `--force' parameter to install it.
-
-Getting the sources from CVS:
-----------------------------
-
-You can also fetch the sources from the GNOME CVS tree
-(see http://www.gnome.org/ for details).
-
-To get the latest sources:
-
-$ cvs checkout libgtop
-$ cvs checkout libgtop-apps
-
-To get the sources of *this* release:
-
-$ cvs checkout -r LIBGTOP_0_25 libgtop
-$ cvs checkout -r LIBGTOP_0_25 libgtop-apps
-
-To get the sources of this release with all bug-fixes applied:
-
-$ cvs checkout -r LIBGTOP_0_25_PATCHES libgtop
-$ cvs checkout -r LIBGTOP_0_25_PATCHES libgtop-apps
-
-To get a patch to apply to the tarballs to get all bug-fixes:
-
-$ cvs rdiff -r LIBGTOP_0_25 -r LIBGTOP_0_25_PATCHES libgtop
-$ cvs rdiff -r LIBGTOP_0_25 -r LIBGTOP_0_25_PATCHES libgtop-apps
-
-[Note for people having write access to the GNOME CVS tree:
-
- Please apply bug fixes to the `LIBGTOP_0_25_PATCHES' branch and
- merge them into the main trunk.
-
- After merging, please re-tag the branch `libgtop_0_25_after_merge'.
-
- This will help us to re-release this package when all bugs are
- fixed.

-RELEASE NOTES FOR LIBGTOP 0.25 STABLE
-=====================================
-
-OVERVIEW
---------
-
-LibGTop is a library that read information about processes and the running
-systems. This information include:
-
-General System Information
-
-cpu - CPU Usage
-mem - Memory Usage
-swap - Swap Usage (including paging activity)
-loadavg - Load average (including nr_running, nr_tasks, last_pid)
-uptime - Uptime and Idle time, can be calculated from CPU usage
-
-SYS V IPC Limits:
-
-shm_limits - Shared Memory Limits
-msg_limits - Message Queue Limits
-sem_limits - Semaphore Set Limits
-
-Process List:
-
-proclist - List of processes
-
-Process information:
-
-proc_state - cmd, state, uid, gid
-proc_uid - uid,euid,gid,egid,pid,ppid,pgrp
- session,tty,tpgid,priority,nice
-proc_mem - size,vsize,resident,share,rss,rss_rlim
-proc_time - start_time,rtime,utime,stime,cutime,cstime
- timeout,it_real_value,frequency
-proc_signal - signal,blocked,sigignore,sigcatch
-proc_kernel - k_flags,min_flt,maj_flt,cmin_flt,cmaj_flt
- kstk_esp,kstk_eip,nwchan,wchan
-proc_segment - text_rss,shlib_rss,data_rss,stack_rss,dirty_size
- start_code,end_code,start_stack
-
-Process maps:
-
-proc_map - Process map (/proc/<pid>/maps under Linux)
-
-File system usage:
-
-mountlist - List of currently mounted filesystems
-fsusage - File system usage
-
-PORTABILITY:
------------
-
-LibGtop is designed to be as portable as possible. None of the functions
-and retrieved information should be specific to a specific operating
-system. So you only need to port the system dependent part of the library
-to a new system and all application programs can then use libgtop on this
-new system.
-
-CLIENT/SERVER MODEL:
--------------------
-
-Some systems like DEC OSF/1 or BSD require special priviledges for the calling
-proces to fetch the required information (SUID root/SGID kmem). To solve this
-problem, I designed a client/server model which makes a call to a SUID/SGID
-server which fetches the required information whenever it is required. This
-server is only called for features that really require priviledges, otherwise
-the sysdeps code is called directory (every user can get the CPU usage on
-DEC OSF/1, but only root can get information about processes other than the
-current one).
-
-There is also some kind of daemon which can be used to fetch information from
-remote systems (still experimental). This daemon normally runs as nobody and
-calls the SUID/SGID itself when needed.
-
-GNOME APPLETS:
---------------
-
-There are some applets and applications which already use LibGTop. They can
-be found in the `libgtop-apps' module in the GNOME CVS tree:
-
-* Applets: cpuload, cpumemusage - they need LibGTop to get their information
- on all systems other than Linux.
-
-* Applets: diskusage - just uses the mountlist/fsusage features of LibGTop,
- the one in gnome-core also works on other systems.
-
-* Applets: multiload - I enhanced the cpuload applet a little bit, it is
- now a multi applet and can display CPU, Memory and
- Swap usages.
-
-GTOP:
-----
-
-This cool GNOME app has been ported to use LibGTop. It can be found in
-`libgtop-apps/gtop' in the GNOME CVS tree.
-
-You can now use nearly the full functionality of GTop on FreeBSD !
-
-
-PLATTFORM SPECIFIC NOTES FOR LINUX:
-==================================
-
-Under Linux, LibGTop should work without problems and read everything
-from /proc.
-
-There is also an experimental kernel interface to read this information
-directly from the kernel with a system call - but this is still experimental
-and not well tested while I made this release.
-
-PLATTFORM SPECIFIC NOTES FOR FREEBSD:
-====================================
-
-LibGTop should now work under FreeBSD and give you the full functionality
-of GTop.
-
-There are a few caveats:
-
-* You need to manually make the `$(prefix)/bin/libgtop_server' SGID to kmem
- after installation and mount the /proc filesystem of FreeBSD
- (/proc/<pid>/mem is used withing kvm_uread ()).
-
-* To get the filenames of the process maps displayed in GTop, you need to
- configure with the `--with-libgtop-inodedb' option (you need GDBM for this
- to work).
-
-* You have then to create an inode database which is used to look up to
- filenames. This is done using the `mkinodedb' program which comes along
- with libgtop.
-
- See the file src/inodedb/README for details:
-
- The `mkinodedb' program which is build in this directory takes two
- command line arguments: the full pathname of the database to be created
- and the name of a configuration file consisting of directory and file names
- each on a line by itself - see `/etc/ld.so.conf' for an example.
-
- Putting a directory name in this file means all regular files found in this
- directory are included in the database, but it will not recursively descend
- into subdirectories (for instance, we want everythink in `/usr/lib' but not
- every single file in `/usr/lib/sgml'). You can also use filenames to include
- a single file.
-
-Have fun,
-
