In the last episode (Sep 25), Vonarburg, David said: netstat -i is ok for a user to get system statictics. I'd like get exactly this information but as a function call inside a C language application netstat -i still digs into kernel memory to get those stats, I think, so you can't directly access those numbers as a regular user. You can shell out and parse the output of netstat -i, or do some snmp queries to your local net-snmp daemon. Checking the dev.em.0.stats sysctl node is another option, and gives you some more hardware status counters than netstat, but not all drivers support it (em does so you're okay). -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

All those vars are available through sysctl. For an example, look in src/in_sysctl.c from net/bmon port. -- Mel Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules and never get to the software part. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
