/* Compile-time symbols that this file uses:

   HAVE_PSTAT_GETDYNAMIC        Define this if your system has the
                                pstat_getdynamic function.  I think it
                                is unique to HPUX9.  The best way to get the
                                definition is through the AC_FUNC_GETLOADAVG
                                macro that comes with autoconf 2.13 or newer.
                                If that isn't an option, then just put
                                AC_CHECK_FUNCS(pstat_getdynamic) in your
                                configure.ac file.
   HAVE_LIBPERFSTAT Define this if your system has the
                                perfstat_cpu_total function in libperfstat (AIX).
   FIXUP_KERNEL_SYMBOL_ADDR()   Adjust address in returned struct nlist.
   KERNEL_FILE                  Name of the kernel file to nlist.
   LDAV_CVT()                   Scale the load average from the kernel.
                                Returns a double.
   LDAV_SYMBOL                  Name of kernel symbol giving load average.
   LOAD_AVE_TYPE                Type of the load average array in the kernel.
                                Must be defined unless one of
                                apollo, DGUX, NeXT, or UMAX is defined;
                                or we have libkstat;
                                otherwise, no load average is available.
   HAVE_NLIST_H                 nlist.h is available.  NLIST_STRUCT defaults
                                to this.
   NLIST_STRUCT                 Include nlist.h, not a.out.h.
   N_NAME_POINTER               The nlist n_name element is a pointer,
                                not an array.
   HAVE_STRUCT_NLIST_N_UN_N_NAME 'n_un.n_name' is member of 'struct nlist'.
   LINUX_LDAV_FILE              [__linux__, __ANDROID__, __CYGWIN__]: File
                                containing load averages.

   Specific system predefines this file uses, aside from setting
   default values if not emacs:

   apollo
   BSD                          Real BSD, not just BSD-like.
   DGUX
   eunice                       UNIX emulator under VMS.
   hpux
   __MSDOS__                    No-op for MSDOS.
   NeXT
   sgi
   UMAX
   UMAX4_3
   VMS
   _WIN32                       Native Windows (possibly also defined on Cygwin)
   __linux__, __ANDROID__       Linux: assumes /proc file system mounted.
                                Support from Michael K. Johnson.
   __CYGWIN__                   Cygwin emulates linux /proc/loadavg.
   __NetBSD__                   NetBSD: assumes /kern file system mounted.

   In addition, to avoid nesting many #ifdefs, we internally set
   LDAV_DONE to indicate that the load average has been computed.

   We also #define LDAV_PRIVILEGED if a program will require
   special installation to be able to call getloadavg.  */
