CppND-System-Monitor

My solution for System Monitor Project in the Object Oriented Programming Course of the Udacity C++ Nanodegree Program.

Project Overvew

• System Class: Represents the overall system and provides information about the system's state, such as the list of processes, memory utilization, and CPU utilization.
• Process Class: Represents an individual process running on the system and provides information about that process, such as its ID, CPU usage, memory usage, and command.
• Processor Class: Represents the CPU and provides information about its utilization.
• LinuxParser Namespace: Contains functions that parse information from the Linux filesystem (primarily from the /proc directory) to provide data needed by the System, Process, and Processor classes.

Responsibilities and Relationships

1. System Class:

   • Uses functions from the LinuxParser namespace to gather system-wide information.
   • Maintains a list of Process objects, representing all running processes.
   • Contains a Processor object to represent the CPU.

2. Process Class:

   • Uses functions from the LinuxParser namespace to gather information specific to a process, such as its CPU and memory usage.
   • Each Process object corresponds to a single process on the system.

3. Processor Class:

   • Uses functions from the LinuxParser namespace to gather information about CPU utilization.

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 <project_url>

2. Install ncurses within your own Linux environment: sudo apt install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev. ncurses is a library that facilitates text-based graphical output in the terminal. This project relies on ncurses for display output.

3. Build the project: make build

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