## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

libgtop is a GNOME-era C library for querying system information such as CPU, memory, and process state across Unix-like platforms. Its value is not a flashy user interface but an old portability layer over platform-specific process and kernel data sources.

### プロジェクトの歴史

The source tree identifies Martin Baulig's April 1998 contribution of LibGTop 1.0-era headers, and the RPM spec records a 0.25.0 release on August 19, 1998. The package description framed libgtop as a library for fetching running-system information, using /proc directly on Linux and a helper server for systems where information had to come from /dev/kmem or equivalent kernel interfaces.

A May 1999 GNOME mailing-list message referred to a LIBGTOP_STABLE_1_0 branch that would remain binary-compatible with LibGTop 1.0.1 as shipped with GNOME 1.0. That places libgtop squarely in the early GNOME platform period, when desktop utilities needed shared C libraries to hide differences between Unix process-accounting APIs.

### 採用の歴史

libgtop became a distro-library dependency rather than an end-user command in its own right. The batch input lists packages for Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Alpine, and openSUSE, reflecting its role as a support library for system-monitoring and GNOME-adjacent software.

### 使われ方

Developers use libgtop when a GNOME or GLib-based program needs process, memory, CPU, mount, or related host information without embedding per-platform probing code. The installed helper programs libgtop_daemon2 and libgtop_server2 exist for the older server-mediated access model documented in the package spec.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

libgtop is a preservation layer for old desktop portability work. Package maintainers care about it because it sits at the intersection of GNOME, GLib, process inspection, platform-specific kernel interfaces, and ABI stability across long-lived desktop applications.

### タイムライン

- 1998-04: Martin Baulig contributed LibGTop 1.0-era source code.
- 1998-08-16: The RPM spec recorded the first RPM packaging entry.
- 1998-08-19: The RPM changelog recorded the LibGTop 0.25.0 release.
- 1999-05: GNOME mailing-list traffic described the stable 1.0 branch as binary-compatible with LibGTop 1.0.1 from GNOME 1.0.

### Related projects

- GNOME is the desktop project that hosts libgtop.
- GLib and GObject provide the base C platform used by libgtop.
- Linux /proc and non-Linux kernel interfaces such as /dev/kmem are the low-level data sources abstracted by the library.
