Author Accessing CPU utilization in UNIX
Mikael Björk

Hi all,

I'm working on a real-time database project under UNIX written in C and need
to access some value for the CPU utilization (the time percentage of its
time the CPU is not idle). I understand that the kstat library is useful for
this
purpose, but not exactly how.
The kstat chain contains the information I need, but how do I know which
name to look for in the chain and how to get the right data?

Tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
