- per-process memory, cpu, credential info, state, arguments, environment,
open files

The core API is implemented in pure C with bindings currently
implemented for Java, Perl and C#.

To test drive run the following command:
% java -jar sigar-bin/lib/sigar.jar
sigar> help
The shell and commands are implemented in Java, the source code is
located in examples/java.
