=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Solaris::Pg module provides an interface to the Solaris PG information
available through B<pg> and B<pg_cpu> kstats. The module provides an object
oriented interface.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Create a new Pg instance. The new() function accepts arguments in the form of a
hash. The following subarguments are supported:

=over

=item -cpudata

Collect per-CPU data from kstats if this is True.

=item  -tags

Match PGs to physical relationships if this is True.

=item  -swload

Collect software CPU load if this is True.

=back

=head2 root

Return ID of the root of Processor Group hierarchy.

=head2 all

Return list of all PGs sorted by ID.

=head2 all_depth_first()

Return list of all PGs sorted by walking the PG hierarchy depth first, starting
from root.

=head2 all_breadth_first()

Return list of all PGs sorted by walking the PG hierarchy breadth first,
starting from root.

=head2 cpus(PG)

Return list of all CPUs in the PG specified. The list is sorted by CPU ID.

=head2 generation([PG])

Return the generation number for the given PG. Without arguments, return the
generation number for the whole snapshot. Different generation number means that
PG configuration may have changed.

=head2 parent(PG)

Return parent ID or undef if there is no parent.

=head2 children(PG)

Return list of children for the PG.

=head2 is_leaf(PG)

Returns T iff PG is leaf.

=head2 leaves

Returns list of leaf PGs.

=head2 level(PG)

Return the numeric level of PG in the hierarchy, starting from root which has
level zero.

=head2 sh_name(PG)

Returns sharing name for the PG.

=head2  sharing_relationships([PG], ...)

Without any arguments, returns the list of sharing relationships in the
snapshot. Relationships are sorted by the level in the hierarchy If any PGs are
given on the command line, only return sharing relationships for given PGs, but
still keep them sorted.

=head2 tags(PG)

Return list of strings describing physical relationships ('core', 'chip') for the given PG.

=head2 update()

Update utilization and generation data in the PG snapshot.

=head2 has_utilization(PG)

Returns True if given PG hasd data about hardware utilization.

=head2 utilization(PGOBJ, PG)

Return numeric utilization for the time interval represented by two PG objects
for the given PG. Utilization is a difference in utilization value between two
snapshots. The given PG must belong to the same generation in both snapshots.
Returns B<undef> if utilization can not be obtained.

=head2 sw_utilization(PGOBJ, PG)

Return numeric software utilization for the time interval represented by two PG
objects for the given PG. Utilization is a difference in utilization value
between two snapshots. The given PG must belong to the same generation in both
snapshots. Returns B<undef> if utilization can not be obtained. Software
utilization is combined CPU load for all CPUs in the PG. Returns B<undef> if
utilization can not be obtained.

=head2 sw_utilization(PGOBJ, PG, CPU)

Return utilization for the PG for a given CPU in a given PG. Utilization is a
difference in utilization value between two snapshots. We can only compare
utilization between PGs having the same generation ID. Returns B<undef> if
utilization can not be obtained.

=head2 capacity(PGOBJ, PG)

Return numeric capacity for the time interval represented by two PG objects for
the given PG. Note that the actual capacity is the maximum of all capacities
across all PGs of this type.The given PG must belong to the same generation in
both snapshots. Returns B<undef> if capacities can not be obtained.

=head2 accuracy(PGOBJ, PG)

Return accuracy of utilization calculation between two snapshots The accuracy is
determined based on the total time spent running and not running the counters.
If T1 is the time counters were running during the period and T2 is the time
they were turned off, the accuracy is T1 / (T1 + T2), expressed in percentages.

=head2 tdelta(PGOBJ, PG)

Return time interval between two snapshots for the given PG. The time is expressed in seconds and is a floating-point number.

=head2 EXPORT

None by default.
