Overview

Shows various OS related information of the current system.

Class Method Summary collapse

Class Method Details

.bits ⇒ Object

Reads ruby configuration and tries to guess if the system is 64 bit.

If it fails then it runs utsname.h to guess the machine.

It the machine is 64 bits, it will return 64, else it returns 32.

The return type is strictly Integer and doesn’t fail.

		64
	else
		32
	end
end

.distribution ⇒ Object

Reads /etc/lsb-release or /etc/os-release tries to get information about the distribution.

If the information isn’t available, it will read and return /etc/issue.

The return type is String. If none of the info is available, it will return an empty frozen String.

		os_release[:NAME]
	else
		v = lsb_release

		if v.key?(:DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION)
			v[:DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION]
		elsif v.key?(:DISTRIB_ID)
			v[:DISTRIB_ID]
		elsif File.readable?('/etc/issue'.freeze)
			IO.read('/etc/issue'.freeze, encoding: 'ASCII-8bit'.freeze).strip
		else
			'Unknown'.freeze
		end
	end
end

.hostname ⇒ Object

Returns the hostname from LinuxStat::Sysconf.hostname.

The return type is String. If the info info isn’t available, it will return an empty String.

def hostname

end

.loadavg ⇒ Object

or waiting for disk I/O (state D) averaged over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. They are the same as the load average numbers given by uptime(1) and other programs. man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/procfs.5.html

The return type is an Hash containing the values that maps to 1, 5, and 15. This method calls LinuxStat::Sysinfo.loads() directly.

However, if the info isn’t available, it will return nil as values.

def loadavg
	loads = LinuxStat::Sysinfo.loads

	{
		1 => loads[0],
		5 => loads[1],
		15 => loads[2]
	}
end

.lsb_release ⇒ Object

Reads /etc/lsb-release and returns a Hash. For example:

LinuxStat::OS.lsb_release

=> {:LSB_VERSION=>"1.4", :DISTRIB_ID=>"Arch", :DISTRIB_RELEASE=>"rolling", :DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=>"Arch Linux"}

If the info isn’t available, it will return an empty Hash.

The amount of data read is 4096 bytes. Any more than that will result in truncated output.

The information is also cached, and once loaded, won’t change in runtime. Because changing the /etc/lsb-release isn’t expected in runtime.

def lsb_release
	@@lsb_release ||= File.readable?('/etc/lsb-release') ? release('/etc/lsb-release') : {}
end

.machine ⇒ Object

Uses utsname.h to determine the machine

It returns a String but if the info isn’t available, it will return an empty String

# File 'lib/linux_stat/os.rb', line 104

end

.nodename ⇒ Object

Uses utsname.h to determine the system nodename

It returns String but if the info isn’t available, it will return an empty String.

# File 'lib/linux_stat/os.rb', line 112

def nodename
	LinuxStat::Uname.nodename
end

.os_release ⇒ Object

Reads /etc/os-release and returns a Hash. For example:

LinuxStat::OS.os_release

=> {:NAME=>"Arch Linux", :PRETTY_NAME=>"Arch Linux", :ID=>"arch", :BUILD_ID=>"rolling",

:ANSI_COLOR=>“38;2;23;147;209”, :HOME_URL=>“www.archlinux.org/”, :DOCUMENTATION_URL=>“wiki.archlinux.org/”, :SUPPORT_URL=>“bbs.archlinux.org/”, :BUG_REPORT_URL=>“bugs.archlinux.org/”, :LOGO=>“archlinux”}

If the info isn’t available, it will return an empty Hash.

The amount of data read is 4096 bytes. Any more than that will result in truncated output.

The information is also cached, and once loaded, won’t change in runtime. Because changing the /etc/lsb-release isn’t expected in runtime.

end

.uptime ⇒ Object

Reads /proc/uptime and returns the system uptime:

LinuxStat::OS.uptime

=> {:hour=>16, :minute=>10, :second=>11, :jiffy=>20}

Using uptime is 10x slower than using uptime_i

If the stat isn’t available, an empty hash is returned.

def uptime
	_uptime = LinuxStat::ProcFS.uptime_f
	return {} unless _uptime

	uptime_i = _uptime.to_i

	h = uptime_i / 3600
	m = uptime_i % 3600 / 60
	s = uptime_i.%(60)
	j = _uptime.-(uptime_i) * 100

	{
		hour: h,
		minute: m,
		second: s,
		jiffy: j.to_i
	}
end

.uptime_f ⇒ Object

Returns Float uptime of the system reported by /proc/uptime

LinuxStat::OS.uptime_f

=> 28956.34

The value is generally rounded to 2 decimal places.

Using uptime_f is 10x slower than using uptime_i

If the stat isn’t available, nil is returned.

# File 'lib/linux_stat/os.rb', line 180

def uptime_f
	LinuxStat::ProcFS.uptime_f
end

.uptime_i ⇒ Object

Returns uptime of the system reported by LinuxStat::Sysinfo.uptime()

LinuxStat::OS.uptime_i

=> 28956

If the stat isn’t available, nil is returned.

# File 'lib/linux_stat/os.rb', line 191

def uptime_i
	LinuxStat::Sysinfo.uptime
end

.version ⇒ Object Also known as: distrib_version

Gives you the version of the OS you are using.

On ArchLinux for example:

LinuxStat::OS.version

=> "rolling"

On Ubuntu 20.04:

LinuxStat::OS.version

=> "20.04"

On CentOS 26:

LinuxStat::OS.version

=> "26"

The return type is String. But if the information isn’t available, it will return an empty frozen String.
