# Interface Perfstat

All Superinterfaces:
  `Library`

public interface Perfstat extends Library
The perfstat API uses the perfstat kernel extension to extract various AIX® performance metrics. System component information is also retrieved from the Object Data Manager (ODM) and returned with the performance metrics. The perfstat API is thread–safe, and does not require root authority.

      `cpu` - Populated with structures, or null to count CPUs
      `sizeof_struct` - Should be set to sizeof(perfstat_cpu_t)
      `desired_number` - Set to 0 to count CPUs, set to number of cpus to return otherwise
    Returns:
      The return value is -1 in case of errors. Otherwise, the number of structures copied is returned.
