Interface Perfstat

All Superinterfaces:

Library

public interface Perfstat
extends Library

The perfstat API uses the perfstat kernel extension to extract various AIX® performance metrics. System component information is also retrieved from the Object Data Manager (ODM) and returned with the performance metrics. The perfstat API is thread–safe, and does not require root authority.

cpu - Populated with structures, or null to count CPUs

sizeof_struct - Should be set to sizeof(perfstat_cpu_t)

desired_number - Set to 0 to count CPUs, set to number of cpus to return otherwise

Returns:

The return value is -1 in case of errors. Otherwise, the number of structures copied is returned.
