💖 statgrab(1) — the bestie manual 💖

✨ NAME ✨

statgrab — sysctl-style interface to system statistics. That’s the whole vibe, bestie: it’s your sysctl-style hookup to system stats, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

statgrab [OPTION]... [STAT]...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so statgrab gives you a sysctl-style interface to all the system statistics available through libstatgrab. It’s useful for applications that don’t want to make library calls but still want to access the statistics — main character energy, for sure.

An iconic example of such an application is mrtg, for which scripts are provided to generate configuration files. Obsessed.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

These are the supported options, and yes, the whole lineup is here:

• -l — Linux sysctl-style output (default). It’s giving default behavior, periodt.
• -b — BSD sysctl-style output.
• -m — MRTG-compatible output.
• -u — Plain output (only show values).
• -n — Display cumulative stats once (default).
• -s — Display stat differences repeatedly.
• -o — Display stat differences once.
• -t DELAY — When repeating, wait DELAY seconds between updates (default 1).
• -p — Display CPU usage differences as percentages rather than absolute values.
• -f FACTOR — Display floating-point values as integers scaled by FACTOR.
• -K — Display byte counts in kibibytes.
• -M — Display byte counts in mebibytes.
• -G — Display byte counts in gibibytes.

If no STAT options are given, all will be displayed. Specify 'STAT.' to display all statistics starting with that prefix. Lowkey handy, iykyk.
