"""
Helper functions for querying process and system information from the /proc
contents. Fetching information this way provides huge performance benefits
over lookups via system utilities (ps, netstat, etc). For instance, resolving
connections this way cuts the runtime by around 90% verses the alternatives.
These functions may not work on all platforms (only Linux?).
The method for reading these files (and a little code) are borrowed from
`psutil `_, which was written by Jay Loden,
Dave Daeschler, Giampaolo Rodola' and is under the BSD license.
**These functions are not being vended to stem users. They may change in the
future, use them at your own risk.**
.. versionchanged:: 1.3.0
Dropped the get_* prefix from several function names. The old names still
work, but are deprecated aliases.
**Module Overview:**
::
is_available - checks if proc utilities can be used on this system
system_start_time - unix timestamp for when the system started
physical_memory - memory available on this system
cwd - provides the current working directory for a process
uid - provides the user id a process is running under
memory_usage - provides the memory usage of a process
stats - queries statistics about a process
file_descriptors_used - number of file descriptors used by a process
connections - provides the connections made by a process
.. data:: Stat (enum)
Types of data available via the :func:`~stem.util.proc.stats` function.
============== ===========
Stat Description
============== ===========
**COMMAND** command name under which the process is running
**CPU_UTIME** total user time spent on the process
**CPU_STIME** total system time spent on the process
**START_TIME** when this process began, in unix time
