How to display global counters?

[mt_1299]

Researching swap/paging memory -- familiar with glance swap screen and swapinfo.

Is there an easy way to fine the values of lotsfree_pct and desfree_pct parameters?

Similar question for global counters like swapspc_max and swapspc_cnt.

I realize some of these values are reflected in the output of swapinfo but wonder if they are accessible directly using adb or another mechanism.

Thanks.

both of the swap counters are part of the header file /usr/include/sys/pstat/vm_pstat_body.h

this manual shows source for how to get pstat information.  if you're ambitious you should be able to adapt it.

i hope that's what you're asking...

Was just curious if there was a single command or if scripting was required.

Thanks.

Unless perl provides access to pstat(2) details, you'll have to write a C/C++ program.

HI:

It seems that ca. 11.0 there was a Perl module called HPUX::Pstat that formed/began the basis for getting information from pstat() in Perl.  It also seems that the module has not been updated since 2003 :-(
