libgtop-1.0.13: description + notes

A library that fetches information about the running system such as cpu and memory usage, active processes etc.

On Linux systems, these information are taken directly from the /proc filesystem while on other systems a server is used to read those information from /dev/kmem or whatever.

Note: This package has not been rewritten for IRIX, so most of it's functionality is stubbed out.

Developers intending to use this distribution for application development should be sure to read the information in FAQ 3.8.
