NAME

sysmon — system monitoring and power management interface

DESCRIPTION

The machine-independent sysmon is a general purpose framework for system monitoring and power management. The main components of sysmon include:

• An ioctl(2) interface available via /dev/sysmon. The userland counterparts include utilities such as envstat(8) and daemons such as powerd(8).
• An interface for the purpose of delivering different system and power events to userspace; sysmon_pswitch(9).
• A general purpose sensor framework, sysmon_envsys(9).
• A general purpose task queue, sysmon_taskq(9).
• An interface for watchdog timers.
