LoadAvg(3)

okay so welcome to LoadAvg(3), bestie — this is the page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and it’s all about Sys::LoadAvg. It’s giving “let me check your system CPU load averages” energy, and honestly? iconic. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Sys::LoadAvg — a Perl extension for accessing system CPU load averages. That’s the whole name-and-one-liner situation. No cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here’s the group-chat-ready code, exactly how you’d type it:

use Sys::LoadAvg qw( loadavg );
my @load = loadavg();

print $load[LOADAVG_1MIN], $/;
print $load[LOADAVG_5MIN], $/;
print $load[LOADAVG_15MIN], $/;

So yeah: you use Sys::LoadAvg qw( loadavg );, call loadavg(), stash the result in my @load, then print the values at the LOADAVG_1MIN, LOADAVG_5MIN, and LOADAVG_15MIN indexes. Slay. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This module is for accessing System load averages. That’s the vibe: load averages, but from Perl. Lowkey essential, highkey useful. 🌸

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

By default, the only exports are the constants LOADAVG_1MIN, LOADAVG_5MIN, and LOADAVG_15MIN. So those three are your default besties. 💖

The loadavg() sub can be explicitly exported if desired — so if you want it in your namespace, that’s the move. Periodt.
