+The Sigar API provides a portable interface for gathering system information
+such as:
+
+* System memory, swap, cpu, load average, uptime, loginsi
+* Per-process memory, cpu, credential info, state, arguments, environment,
+ open files
+* File system detection and metrics
+* Network interface detection, configuration info and metrics
+* TCP and UDP connection tables
+* Network route table
+
+This information is available in most operating systems, but each OS has their
+own way(s) providing it. SIGAR provides developers with one API to access this
+information regardless of the underlying platform. The core API is implemented
+in pure C with bindings currently implemented for Java, Perl, Ruby, Python,
+Erlang, PHP and C#. This port provides the Java bindings.
