Regarding equivalent "pstat" functions on Solaris 8 box

[suresh kumar]

Hi,
I am getting some errors while porting my code from HP UX 10 to 
Solaris 8.Its related to "pstat".I request kindly to help me in this regard if 
anyone had faced similar kind of problem.Please find the functions mentioned 
below which are supported on 
HP UX 10  .I'd like to know is there any equivalent functions available 
on Solaris 8 and if so, which header file . The functions mentioned 
are some of the HP UX supported "pstat" functions..
 
Here is the list
defined in <sys/pstat.h>
. pstat_getstaic()
      Returns static information about the system.  This data   
   does not vary while the system is running. There is one      
     global instance of this context. Data, up to a maximum of elemsize 
bytes, are returned in the struct pst_static pointed to by buf. 
 The elemcount parameter must be 1.  The index parameter must be 0.

. pstat_getproc()
    Returns information specific to a particular process.There is 
one instance of this context for each active process on the system. 
 For each instance requested,data, up to a maximum of elemsize bytes, 
are returned in the structs pst_status pointed to by buf.  The  
    elemcount parameter specifies the number of structs         
  pst_status that are available at buf to be filled in.
The index parameter specifies the starting index within the context 
of processes.  As a shortcut, information for a single process may 
be obtained by setting  elemcount to zero and setting index to the PID of that 
process.
 
. pstat_getfile()
       Returns information specific to a particular open file   
    for a specified process.  For the specified process,there is 
one instance of this context for each open file descriptor.  For 
each instance requested, data, upto a maximum of elemsize bytes, 
are returned in the structs pst_fileinfo pointed to by buf.  The elemcount
parameter specifies the number of structs pst_fileinfo that are 
available at buf to be filled in.  The index parameter specifies 
the starting index within the context of open files for the specified 
process:  it is a 32-bit quantity constructed of the pst_idx field of
the 'owning' process, obtained via pstat_getproc(),described above, 
as the most significant 16 bits, and the index of open files within 
the process as the least significant 16 bits. 

Please kindly let me know if any equivalent functions are available.

 
 
Thanks and Regards,
Suresh

Thanks for the patch.  I just submitted one for the same bug yesterdday
that is a little simpler.  See the bug-gnu-utils archives, or I can
mail you the patch if you like.

Thanks,
