NAME

       Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats - Collect linux net statistics.

SYNOPSIS

           use Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats;

           my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new;
           $lxs->init;
           sleep 1;
           my $stat = $lxs->get;

       Or

           my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(initfile => $file);
           $lxs->init;
           my $stat = $lxs->get;

DESCRIPTION

       Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats gathers net statistics from the virtual /proc filesystem
       (procfs).

       For more information read the documentation of the front-end module
       Sys::Statistics::Linux.

NET STATISTICS

       Generated by /proc/net/dev.

           rxbyt    -  Number of bytes received per second.
           rxpcks   -  Number of packets received per second.
           rxerrs   -  Number of errors that happend while received packets per second.
           rxdrop   -  Number of packets that were dropped per second.
           rxfifo   -  Number of FIFO overruns that happend on received packets per second.
           rxframe  -  Number of carrier errors that happend on received packets per second.
           rxcompr  -  Number of compressed packets received per second.
           rxmulti  -  Number of multicast packets received per second.
           txbyt    -  Number of bytes transmitted per second.
           txpcks   -  Number of packets transmitted per second.
           txerrs   -  Number of errors that happend while transmitting packets per second.
           txdrop   -  Number of packets that were dropped per second.
           txfifo   -  Number of FIFO overruns that happend on transmitted packets per second.
           txcolls  -  Number of collisions that were detected per second.
           txcarr   -  Number of carrier errors that happend on transmitted packets per second.
           txcompr  -  Number of compressed packets transmitted per second.
           ttpcks   -  Number of total packets (received + transmitted) per second.
           ttbyt    -  Number of total bytes (received + transmitted) per second.

METHODS

   new()
       Call "new()" to create a new object.

           my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new;

       Maybe you want to store/load the initial statistics to/from a file:

           my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(initfile => '/tmp/netstats.yml');

       If you set "initfile" it's not necessary to call sleep before "get()".

       It's also possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.

            Sys::Statistics::Linux::NetStats->new(
               files => {
                   # This is the default
                   path   => '/proc',
                   netdev => 'net/dev',
               }
           );

   init()
       Call "init()" to initialize the statistics.

           $lxs->init;

   get()
       Call "get()" to get the statistics. "get()" returns the statistics as a hash reference.

           my $stat = $lxs->get;

   raw()
       The same as get_raw() but it's not necessary to call init() first.

   get_raw()
       Call "get_raw()" to get the raw data - no deltas.
