C function/system call for memory monitoring 1

[simbasaurus]

Hello!

I need to find some parameters of the system, like:

memory usage (how much free memory is available)
number of processors
network activity.

Can anyone tell me if there are such C functions that can do
this, or can anyone provide a link to some useful
documentation of the AIX functions and libraries.

Thank you very much in advance.

when you say number of processors and then free memory you are somewhere looking for a system configuration and system monitoring!?

Try these commands:

prtconf

topas

svmon -G

netstat

I would suggest you look into the man pages for these commands for more info

Thank you!

The Perfstat API described in one of the documents you provided was just what i needed.
