NAME

       td_ta_enable_stats, td_ta_reset_stats, td_ta_get_stats - collect target process statistics for libc_db

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lc_db [ library... ]
       #include <proc_service.h>
       #include <thread_db.h>

       td_err_e td_ta_enable_stats(const td_thragent_t *ta_p, int on_off);

       td_err_e_stats td_ta_reset(const td_thragent_t *ta_p);

       td_err_e td_ta_get_stats(const td_thragent_t *ta_p, td_ta_stats_t *tstats);

DESCRIPTION

       The  controlling  process  can  request	the  collection of certain statistics about a target process.  Statistics gathering is disabled by
       default. Each target process has a td_ta_stats_t structure that contains current values when statistic gathering is enabled.

       The td_ta_enable_stats() function turns statistics gathering on or off for the process identified by ta_p,  depending  on  whether  or  not
       on_off  is  non-zero.  When  statistics	gathering is turned on, all statistics are implicitly reset as though td_ta_reset_stats() had been
       called.	Statistics are not reset when statistics gathering  is turned off. Except for nthreads and r_concurrency, the values do not change
       further, but they remain available for inspection by way of td_ta_get_stats().

       The td_ta_reset_stats() function resets all counters in the td_ta_stats_t structure to zero for the target process.

       The td_ta_get_stats() function returns the structure for the process in tstats.

       The td_ta_stats_t structure is defined in <thread_db.h> and contains the following members:

       typedef struct {
	  int nthreads; 	   /* total number of threads in use */
	  int r_concurrency;	   /* requested concurrency level */
	  int nrunnable_num;	   /* numerator of avg runnable threads */
	  int nrunnable_den;	   /* denominator of avg runnable threads */
	  int a_concurrency_num;   /* numerator, avg achieved concurrency */
	  int a_concurrency_den;   /* denominator, avg achieved concurrency */
	  int nlwps_num;	   /* numerator, avg number of LWPs in use */
	  int nlwps_den;	   /* denominator, avg number of LWPs in use */
	  int nidle_num;	   /* numerator, avg number of idling LWPs */
	  int nidle_den;	   /* denominator, avg number of idling LWPs */
       } td_ta_stats_t;

       The  nthreads  member  is  the  number  of  threads that are currently part of the target process.  The r_concurrency member is the current
       requested concurrency level, such as would be returned by thr_setconcurrency(3C). The  remaining  members  are  averages  over  time,  each
       expressed as  a fraction with an integral numerator and denominator. The nrunnable_num and nrunnable_den members represent the average num-
       ber of runnable threads.  The a_concurrency_num and a_concurrency_den members represent the average achieved  concurrency,  the	number	of
       actually  running  threads.  The a_concurrency_num and a_concurrency_den members are less than or equal to nrunnable_num and nrunnable_den,
       respectively. The nlwps_num and nlwps_den members represent the average number of  lightweight  processes   (LWPs)  participating  in  this
       process.   They	must  be  greater  than  or  equal to a_concurrency_num and a_concurrency_den, respectively, since every running thread is
       assigned to an  LWP, but there can at times be additional idling LWPs with no thread assigned to them. The nidle_num and nidle_den  members
       represent the average number of idle LWPs.

RETURN VALUES

       TD_OK	       The call completed successfully.

       TD_BADTA        An invalid internal process handle was passed in.

       TD_DBERR        A call to one of the imported interface routines failed.

       TD_ERR	       Something else went wrong.
