rstat

rstat(3RPC)						       RPC Library Functions						       rstat(3RPC)

NAME

       rstat, havedisk - get performance data from remote kernel

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lrpcsvc [ library ... ]
       #include <rpc/rpc.h>
       #include <rpcsvc/rstat.h>

       enum clnt_stat rstat(char *host, struct statstime *statp);

       int havedisk(char *host);

PROTOCOL

       /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x

DESCRIPTION

       These  routines require that the rpc.rstatd(1M) daemon be configured and available on the remote system indicated by host. The rstat() pro-
       tocol is used to gather statistics from remote kernel.  Statistics will be
	available on items such as paging, swapping, and cpu utilization.

       rstat() fills in the statstime structure statp for host.  statp must point to an allocated statstime structure. rstat() returns RPC_SUCCESS
       if it was successful; otherwise a enum clnt_stat is returned which can be displayed using clnt_perrno(3NSL).

       havedisk() returns 1 if host has disk, 0 if it does not, and -1 if this cannot be determined.

       The following XDR routines are available in librpcsvc:

       xdr_statstime
       xdr_statsvar
