    CPU Load Average Stats from Kernel?

    Hi

    Is there a way to get the CPU load average statistics from a user-space program directly, (i.e., a function call instead of reading /proc/loadavg or parsing 'uptime' output)?

    I noticed that the kernel provides task level statistics using getrusage() and I wondered if there is some support for CPU load averages as well.

    Thanks,

    You probably want "sar" which is part of the sysstat package.
