How to get network throughput via DLPI API

[eric wang_2]

I would like to get network statistic value
first I use lanadmin -g PPA Number,

But I found a problem,if the PPA Number is a trunk ,it will need to press enter to continue
,but i use program to parse the text to get network throughput,

so I would like to use API to get network statistic value like below,

or anther way to solve the "press enter to continue "problem

how to do these via DLPI API
thanks

Hi,
are you using hp-ux 11.31?
lanadmin is obsolete in 11.31 and you should take a look at nwmgr command (man nwmgr) , it also collects statistics of an interface.

Here's the DLPI programmer's guide:

I would use in HP-UX 11.11 11.23 11.31,
because when i use lanadmin -g PPA Number
there will a press to continue,but my program doesn't know it.So I would like to USE DPLI API,could any one give me a example like using command lanadmin -g PPA

thanks
