Umm, "man pstat" gives quite a good account.

However, here is a a quick example.

#include
#include
#include


struct pst_static buf;

if (pstat_getstatic(&buf, sizeof(buf), (size_t)1, 0) != -1){
(void)printf("Physical memory %ld\n",buf.physical_memory);
}
else
perror("pstat_static");
}

Wow, somehow I forgot main()!!

Stick this in before the "struct pst_static buf";

main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{

thanks! "man pstat" is good !
But do you know more detail info about pstat or other system functions, like how to use those variables, in PDF files, books...

thanks again !

Sorry but I don't I'm afraid. I learnt C from the unix man pages so I'm sort of used to using them as the font of all knowledge :)

[yyghp]

thanks, i hope that i can get some HP internal resources about the usage and accurate definitions of those variables of those functions...

In addition to the man pages, there is also a white paper (although most of the information is contained in the manpages):

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/onlinedocs/os/11i/pstat_whitepaper.pdf

I'd asked a question via HP support and this was the only information they were able to provide (although often the comments in the header files are enough to work out roughly what's going on).

In addition, the memory management and process management white papers in /usr/share/doc on an 11.0 system provide some clues as to some of the other values.

thanks David, that's what i want !
