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. - -Source Code: -=========== - - libgtop-current-cvs.cpio.gz is a cpio archive from the CVS repository - libgtop-current.cpio.gz contains the lates checked out sources - libgtop-stable.cpio.gz if present, it contains the last stable release - -Documentation: -============= - - libgtop.sgml is the SGML source of the (DocBook) documentation - -The next three files are only provided until they get too big to upload. - - libgtop.tex TEX file of the documentation - libgtop.dvi DVI file of the documentation - libgtop.ps Postscript file of the documentation - -HTML-Documentation: -================== - - libgtop.shtml Start here to browse the HTML documentation - -Other stuff: +LATEST NEWS: =========== - README, NEWS, ChangeLog copied from the sources - -Enjoy it! - -Martin (martin@home-of-linux.org - baulig@merkur.uni-trier.de) +Please look also in the file 'NEWS' for latest news. + +Martin |
