<hr>
<p>
<strong>Structure</strong> - Used to present a host's processor load information.
<h3>SYNOPSIS</h3>
<pre>
<strong>#define CPU_STATE_USER     0</strong>

<strong>#define CPU_STATE_SYSTEM   1</strong>

<strong>#define CPU_STATE_IDLE     2</strong>

<strong>struct host_load_info</strong>
<strong>{</strong>
       <strong>integer_t</strong>        <var>avenrun</var><strong>[3];</strong>
       <strong>integer_t</strong>    <var>mach_factor</var><strong>[3];</strong>
<strong>};</strong>

<strong>typedef struct host_load_info* host_load_info_t;</strong>
</pre>
<h3>FIELDS</h3>
<dl>
<dt> <var>avenrun</var>
<dd>
load average--average number of runnable processes divided by
number of CPUs
<p>
<dt> <var>mach_factor</var>
<dd>
The processing resources available to a new thread--the number of 
CPUs divided by (1 + the number of threads)
</dl>
<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
<p>
The <strong>host_load_info</strong> structure defines the loading information
available about a 
host.  The information returned is exponential averages over three periods of 
time: 5, 30 and 60 seconds.
