>Maybe we need a friendlier kstat access method from C? There is already libkstat.
libkstat isn't all that unfriendly. One of my first C projects was implementing kstat calls for the net-snmp project (now part of Solaris 10). The preliminary work involved writing some simple kstat list/tree walkers. While I agree it's nice having the complex Perl kstat functionality, I usually need to look at kstat when the machine is behaving badly - exactly the moment when I wouldn't want to bring in a whole lot of memory overhead. The Perl program invokes exactly the same libraries used by the C program. If you really need regular expressions, can't you just pipe to egrep? _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
