## Introduction

`libstatgrab` is a library that provides cross platform access to statistics
about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and presents a selection
of useful interfaces which can be used to access key system statistics.
The current list of statistics includes CPU usage, memory utilisation, disk usage,
process counts, network traffic, disk I/O, and more.

The current list of supported and tested platforms includes OSX, FreeBSD, Linux,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, DragonFly BSD, HP-UX and AIX.

Please see the `libstatgrab` [homepage](http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/)
for more information.


## Compatibility

`libstatgrab 0.9.0` is required.

While the bindings should correctly build on the same platforms as supported by
the library, only OSX and Linux have currently been tested.


## Installation

Install `libstatgrab 0.9.0` from one of the mirrors: http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/

```
cabal install
```


## Examples

```haskell
module Main (main) where

import Control.Monad.IO.Class
import System.Statgrab

main :: IO ()
main = runStats $ do
    h <- snapshot :: Stats Host
    liftIO $ print h
```
