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.
