Sys::S...skStats(3pm)

👑 NAME

Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats — the module that collects your linux disk stats, and yes she's from the 3pm perl manual section, bestie 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

use Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats;

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats->new;
$lxs->init;
sleep 1;
my $stat = $lxs->get;

Or, like, the other way 🦋

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats->new(initfile => $file);
$lxs->init;
my $stat = $lxs->get;

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION

Okay so Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats gathers disk statistics from the virtual /proc filesystem (procfs). That's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

For more info, go read the docs of the front-end module Sys::Statistics::Linux. She's the main character, this one's her bestie 🫶

💾 DISK STATISTICS

Generated by /proc/diskstats or /proc/partitions. Here's what you get:

• major — the mayor number of the disk
• minor — the minor number of the disk
• rdreq — number of read requests that were made to physical disk per second
• rdbyt — number of bytes that were read from physical disk per second
• wrtreq — number of write requests that were made to physical disk per second
• wrtbyt — number of bytes that were written to physical disk per second
• ttreq — total number of requests were made from/to physical disk per second
• ttbyt — total number of bytes transmitted from/to physical disk per second

🎀 METHODS

new()

Call new() to create a new object. Slay.

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats->new;

Maybe you wanna store/load the initial statistics to/from a file? Iconic behaviour, go off:

my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/diskstats.yml');

If you set initfile, it's not necessary to call sleep before get(). Literally saving you a whole second of your life ✨

It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem:

 Sys::Statistics::Linux::DiskStats->new(
    files => {
        # This is the default
        path       => '/proc',
        diskstats  => 'diskstats',
        partitions => 'partitions',
    }
 );

init()

Call init() to initialize the statistics. Gotta warm her up first 💖

$lxs->init;

get()

Call get() to get the statistics. get() returns the statistics as a hash reference. So you get a whole hash ref back, no cap.

my $stat = $lxs->get;

raw()

Get raw values. Just the raw, unfiltered, no-makeup truth 🙈

🌈 EXPORTS

No exports. Nothing. Zero. Nada. She's not sharing like that 😭
