cms-codes / procfs-System-Monitor

A system resource monitor using the Linux procfs pseudo-filesystem, ncurses and the C++ Standard Library to demonstrate object oriented design.

procfs-System-Monitor

System Monitor
Developed from a provided codebase, this project meets the evaulation requirements for the object oriented programming course final project, as part of the Udacity C++ Nanodegree Program.

ncurses

ncurses is a library that facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal. This project relies on ncurses for display output.

To install ncurses within your own Linux environment: sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev

Make

This project uses Make. The Makefile has four targets:

• build compiles the source code and generates an executable
• format applies ClangFormat to style the source code
• debug compiles the source code and generates an executable, including debugging symbols
• clean deletes the build/ directory, including all of the build artifacts

Instructions

1. Clone the project repository: git clone https://github.com/cms-codes/procfs-System-Monitor-Project.git

2. Build the project: make build

3. Run the resulting executable: ./build/monitor
