OS_GAUGES

The OS_GAUGES module generates system events related to the OS component of the ChorusOS operating system, following alarms or signals generated by gauges, counters and thresholds. These system events are passed to the C_OS.

The OS_GAUGES module has no dedicated system calls, but rather reads and controls counters, gauges and thresholds through sysctl(), sysctlbyname(), and the /PROCFS file system.
