9740.0. "associated sysinfo structures in <sys/sysinfo.h> ?" by RDGENG::CHAMBERLIN (Danger! Do not Reverse Polarity) Wed May 07 1997 08:01

An "eagle-eyed" (or substitute appropriate adjective:-) ) partner, whilst using
table() to get info from the system table, has noticed and requested info on
associated structures in <sys/sysinfo.h> :

#ifdef KERNEL
extern struct sysinfo sysinfo;
extern struct sysinfo sysrate;
extern struct sysinfo syshist;
#endif /* KERNEL */

and also a reference to a function called sysrates().

I don't know what he' s trying to do, but are these useful/useable/accessible
user structures and function, and is there a short description I can pass on? 

Thanks

    They're pure cruft and should be removed. They're an ugly remant
    of the AIX content in the original OSF/1 headers and libraries.
