DESCRIPTION¶
The page stats module deliver the number of pages swapped in and out, either since the machine has been booted (by the sg_get_page_stats() and sg_get_page_stats_r() functions) or the difference between two measured statistics (by the sg_get_page_stats_diff() and sg_get_page_stats_diff_between() functions). The sg_get_page_stats_diff() function calculates the difference between the last call to the function sg_get_page_stats() in this thread (the statistics of the earlier call are saved and sg_get_page_stats() is called immediately after this).

RETURN VALUES¶
typedef struct{ unsigned long long pages_pagein; unsigned long long pages_pageout; time_t systime; }sg_page_stats;
- pages_pagein
- The number of pages swapped into memory.
- pages_pageout
- The number of pages swapped out of memory (to swap).
- systime
- The timestamp when the above stats where collected in seconds since epoch or the time period over which pages_pagein and pages_pageout were transferred.
BUGS¶
Solaris doesn't seem to report accurately. It reports the number of pages swapped into memory, not necessarily from swap. This feature isn't deemed entirely reliable.SEE ALSO¶
