C API for CPU Usage for particular User Login

C API for CPU Usage for particular User Login

[herft]

Dear Friends,

I want to read CPU Usage like top command.

What I want is read CPU usage for particular user log in.

Say x,y and z are logged in and they are running separate applications.

What I want is to get the CPU usage of each user separately.

It would be somewhat like top command, but then top gives CPU usage of the 
machine as a total.

Can anyone help me with giving me any clue about C apis in Linux.

Or if I can get the source code of top command.

Thanks

Google for "procps .tar.gz"
There are actually two competing packages with that name,
both under GPL AFAIK.

Hi Vda,

Thanks for that.

I will see, if I can get some code for "top" and write new code to suit my 
requirement.

Vda, By the way IS THERE AN APPLICATION  WHICH RUNS UNDER Linux to do this 
work?

Thanks
