Very Computer

Hello world,

I am looking for a library that provides the same information 'top' does .
Is there any 'libtop.so' out there?

TIA

Well, top on proc-fs boxes is using libproc library, you can try to use
it. For example - here's a function print_uptime() from libproc library:

--- c.c ---
int main(void){
   print_uptime();
   return 0;

$ gcc c.c -lproc
$ ./a.out
  5:02pm  up  3:03, 10 users,  load average: 0.03, 0.15, 0.08
$

Of course top uses ncurses, so if you want to have self-changing
output you need to implement it yourself.
Here's a code similar to ps, but a lot simpler:

HTH in any way,

You could try libgtop, although I do not know if it still is being
maintained.
