Hi All,
We have released procps-ng version 4.0.1 This is from the newlib branch
which we are planning on tracking for future releases.
It can be found at:
* https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/tags/v4.0.1
* https://sourceforge.net/projects/procps-ng/files/Production/
Release Notes, changes from v3.3.17
===================================
------------------
Library Highlights
------------------
The library (named libproc2) has been completely redesigned and provides
a consistent API. It is documented in procps(3), procps_pids(3) and
procps_misc(3).
Many new task related fields are now accessible such as autogroups, cpu
utilization, I/O accounting, smaps_rollup, etc.
Accessible system level information is even more extensive offering
access to complete meminfo, diskstats, slabinfo, stat and vmstat data.
The library honors a LIBPROC_HIDE_KERNEL environment variable which can
reduce kernel thread clutter in existing programs like ps and top as
well as newly developed user applications.
