This library provides a programmatic interface for monitoring system resources and managing process lifecycles. It functions as a cross-platform utility that retrieves real-time metrics on hardware utilization and allows for the inspection and control of running system processes.
The project normalizes disparate operating system data structures into a unified interface, enabling consistent interaction with kernel-level information regardless of the host environment. By utilizing compiled extensions to interface directly with native system APIs, it provides a consistent way to access performance data and manage task states that would otherwise require platform-specific command-line utilities.
The library covers a broad range of system administration and performance profiling tasks, including the collection of granular data on processors, memory, disks, and network interfaces. It is designed to be integrated into scripts to automate the monitoring of hardware health and the management of application stability.
