Re: load_averages fact for AIX

I have not found getkerninfo available in system dynamic libraries on aix 6.1 (I assume bellow java related library doesn't count): [0] [AIX] root@aix61-2:~ # for i in `find / -name *\.so*`; do nm $i 2>/dev/null | grep T | grep getkerninfo; if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo $i; fi; done .getkerninfo T 268473200 /usr/java6/jre/lib/ppc/libnet.so .getkerninfo T 268452320 /usr/lpp/cas.agent/inst_root/var/opt/tivoli/ep/_jvm/jre/lib/ppc/libnet.so .getkerninfo T 268452320 /var/opt/tivoli/ep/_jvm/jre/lib/ppc/libnet.so   Instead it is found in static system library: [0] [AIX] root@aix61-2:~ # nm /lib/libc.a | grep T | grep getkerninfo .getkerninfo T 1298384   One solution would be to go with a native extension, should I give it a try or there are other ways?

Re: load_averages fact for AIX

I created a gem native extension see if load_averages could be read like that: https://github.com/ciprianbadescu/aix_facter_helper irb(main):001:0> require 'aix_facter_helper.so' => true irb(main):002:0> AixFacterHelper::getLoadAverages => [1.7595977783203125, 1.557647705078125, 1.699554443359375]

Re: load_averages fact for AIX

The dlopen subroutine can be used to load a module that is a member of an archive https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_71/d_bostechref/dlopen.html require 'ffi' module Hello extend FFI::Library @ffi_lib_flags=0x00040000|0x00010000|0x00000004 ffi_lib "libc.a(shr.o)" attach_function :puts, [ :string ], :int end Hello.puts("Hello, World")
