The file is the README for BSD::Process version 0.06

INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Building this module requires a FreeBSD system and a C compiler. Support for OpenBSD and NetBSD will appear in future releases.

TESTING

This module requires the following module for thorough testing:

Test::More

This module will use the following modules if they are available: (their absence is not a problem).

Test::Pod
Test::Pod::Coverage

It can also make use of Devel::Cover if available.

UNINSTALLATION

This Perl module has components which will be found in the following directories:

.../perl5/site_perl/5.x.x/mach/auto/BSD/Process/* .../perl5/site_perl/5.x.x/mach/BSD/Process.pm .../perl5/5.x.x/man/man3/BSD::Process.3

USAGE

use BSD::Process;

my $proc = BSD::Process->new;
print $proc->rssize, " resident set size\n"; print "This process has made $proc->{minflt} page reclaims\n";

print $proc->user_time, " seconds spent on the CPU\n"; $proc->refresh;
print "And now $proc->{utime} seconds\n";

There are a few useful programs bundled with the distribution that won't be installed. If you can't find them on your system, have a look at the online versions, available at http://search.cpan.org and/or http://kobesearch.cpan.org .

HELPING

Patches welcome!

If you would like to see this module work on other operating systems, but don't particularly wish to hack on the source yourself, and you have a publically accessible machine on the net, and you are fine with the idea of giving me an account on said machine, then drop me a line.

I will send you my public key for connecting via ssh. All I need is a shell and a C compiler, and I give you my word that I will not do anything evil. If required, I will connect only from a fixed address (which would allow you to set up an AllowUsers USER@HOST rule in your sshd_config file).

STATUS

This module is under active development.
