Standard C Library Functions pset_getloadavg(3C)
NAME
pset_getloadavg - get system load averages for a processor
setSYNOPSIS
#include
#include
int pset_getloadavg(psetid_t pset, double loadavg[], int nelem);
DESCRIPTION
The pset_getloadavg() function returns the number of
processes assigned to the specified processor set that are in the system run queue, averaged over various periods of time. Up to nelem samples are retrieved and assigned tosuccessive elements of loadavg[]. The system imposes a max-
imum of 3 samples, representing averages over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes, respectively.The LOADAVG_1MIN, LOADAVG_5MIN, and LOADAVG_15MIN indices,
defined in, can be used to extract the data from the appropriate element of the loadavg[] array. If pset is PS_NONE, the load average for processes not
assigned to a processor set is returned.If pset is PS_MYID, the load average for the processor set
to which the caller is bound is returned. If the caller is not bound to a processor set, the result is the same as ifPS_NONE was specified.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the number of samples actually retrieved is returned. If the load average was unobtainableor the processor set does not exist, -1 is returned and
errno is set to indicate the error.ERRORS
The pset_getloadavg() function will fail if:
EINVAL The number of elements specified is less than 0, or an invalid processor set ID was specified.The caller is in a non-global zone, the pools
facility is active, and the specified processor set is not that of the zone's pool.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 28 Jun 2004 1
