.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn kvm_getloadavg
|
|
|
|
|
function returns the number of processes in the system run queue
|
|
|
|
|
of the kernel indicated by
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
averaged over various periods of time.
|
|
|
|
|
Up to
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa nelem
|
|
|
|
|
samples are retrieved and assigned to successive elements of
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa loadavg Ns Bq .
|
|
|
|
|
The system imposes a maximum of 3 samples, representing averages
|
|
|
|
|
over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS

If the load average was unobtainable, \-1 is returned; otherwise,
|
|
|
|
|
the number of samples actually retrieved is returned.
