Sys::Statistics::Linux::FileStats - Collect linux file statistics.

    use Sys::Statistics::Linux::FileStats;

    my $lxs  = Sys::Statistics::Linux::FileStats->new;
    my $stat = $lxs->get;

Sys::Statistics::Linux::FileStats gathers file statistics from the virtual /proc filesystem (procfs).

For more information read the documentation of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux.

Generated by /proc/sys/fs/file-nr, /proc/sys/fs/inode-nr and /proc/sys/fs/dentry-state.

    fhalloc    -  Number of allocated file handles.
    fhfree     -  Number of free file handles.
    fhmax      -  Number of maximum file handles.
    inalloc    -  Number of allocated inodes.
    infree     -  Number of free inodes.
    inmax      -  Number of maximum inodes.
    dentries   -  Dirty directory cache entries.
    unused     -  Free diretory cache size.
    agelimit   -  Time in seconds the dirty cache entries can be reclaimed.
    wantpages  -  Pages that are requested by the system when memory is short.

Call new() to create a new object.

    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::FileStats->new;

It's possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.

     Sys::Statistics::Linux::FileStats->new(
        files => {
            # This is the default
            path     => '/proc',
            file_nr  => 'sys/fs/file-nr',
            inode_nr => 'sys/fs/inode-nr',
            dentries => 'sys/fs/dentry-state',
        }
    );

Call get() to get the statistics. get() returns the statistics as a hash reference.

    my $stat = $lxs->get;
