Hello all,

How to get the no. of reads & writes to a disk ? Also the No of bytes
transfered. Is there is any syscall available on HPUX ?

Thanks,
Prakash

Can pstat_getdisk() and iostat be of some help to you ?

#include <sys/pstat/disk_pstat_body.h>
struct __pst_diskinfo {
_T_LONG_T psd_dkxfer; /* cumulative number of transfers;
* includes requests with high
* (read/write) and low (ioctl)
priorities
.... */
}

The number of bytes transferred to disk can be found out by using iostat.
column significance
device Device name
bps Kilobytes transferred per second

Does that mean there is is no way I can get the no. of reads & writes
separately ?
