Linux system monitor project

Linux Monitor

A text-based graphical output program to monitor Linux system. Application parses proc filesystem (an interface to kernel data structures) to retrieve information and format it using ncurses.

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

Compile and Run

1. Clone the project repository: git clone [e-mail]:compilepeace/LinuxMonitor.git

2. Build the project: make build

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

4. Implemented System, Process, and Processor classes, as well as functions within the LinuxParser namespace.
