# procfs
This package provides functions to retrieve system, kernel, and process
metrics from the pseudo-filesystems /proc and /sys.
*WARNING*: This package is a work in progress. Its API may still break in
backwards-incompatible ways without warnings. Use it at your own risk.

[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/prometheus/procfs)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/prometheus/procfs)
## Usage
The procfs library is organized by packages based on whether the gathered data is coming from
/proc, /sys, or both. Each package contains an `FS` type which represents the path to either /proc,
/sys, or both. For example, cpu statistics are gathered from
`/proc/stat` and are available via the root procfs package. First, the proc filesystem mount
point is initialized, and then the stat information is read.
```go
fs, err := procfs.NewFS("/proc")
stats, err := fs.Stat()
```
Some sub-packages such as `blockdevice`, require access to both the proc and sys filesystems.
```go
fs, err := blockdevice.NewFS("/proc", "/sys")
stats, err := fs.ProcDiskstats()
```
## Package Organization
The packages in this project are organized according to (1) whether the data comes from the `/proc` or
`/sys` filesystem and (2) the type of information being retrieved. For example, most process information
can be gathered from the functions in the root `procfs` package. Information about block devices such as disk drives
is available in the `blockdevices` sub-package.
## Building and Testing
The procfs library is intended to be built as part of another application, so there are no distributable binaries.
However, most of the API includes unit tests which can be run with `make test`.
### Updating Test Fixtures
The procfs library includes a set of test fixtures which include many example files from
the `/proc` and `/sys` filesystems. These fixtures are included as a [ttar](https://github.com/ideaship/ttar) file
which is extracted automatically during testing. To add/update the test fixtures, first
ensure the `fixtures` directory is up to date by removing the existing directory and then
extracting the ttar file using `make fixtures/.unpacked` or just `make test`.
```bash
rm -rf fixtures
make test
```
Next, make the required changes to the extracted files in the `fixtures` directory. When
the changes are complete, run `make update_fixtures` to create a new `fixtures.ttar` file
based on the updated `fixtures` directory. And finally, verify the changes using
`git diff fixtures.ttar`.
