prox

This is the repo of prox, a header-only C++ library for monitoring processes on Linux.

Description

prox is a header-only C++ library for monitoring processes on Linux. It is based on the procfs filesystem, which is a virtual filesystem that provides an interface to kernel data structures. procfs is typically mounted at /proc and is used to obtain information about the system and running processes. prox parses the /proc filesystem to obtain information about the processes running on the system, so the user can access this information programmatically.

Installation

prox is a header-only library, so installing should be fairly easy (make sure you have the dependencies installed). You can simply copy the header files to your project directory and include them in your source code.

Or, you can install it system-wide by running the following commands:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
sudo cmake --build . --target install

Dependencies

prox depends on the following libraries:

• range-v3
• fmt
• libnuma

Additionally, prox example depends on the following libraries:

• spdlog
• CLI11

For testing, prox depends on the following libraries:

• Google Test

Usage

Wiki is WIP. For now, you can check the example directory for examples.
