<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>getloadavg</B>()
|
|
|
|
function returns the number of processes in the system run queue
|
|
averaged over various periods of time.
|
|
Up to
|
|
<I>nelem</I>
|
|
|
|
samples are retrieved and assigned to successive elements of
|
|
<I>loadavg</I>[].
|
|
|
|
The system imposes a maximum of 3 samples, representing averages
|
|
over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes, respectively.
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
|
|
|
|
If the load average was unobtainable, -1 is returned; otherwise,
|
|
the number of samples actually retrieved is returned.
