#### Lightweight Linux system statistics CLI

kernstat is a lightweight command-line tool for monitoring Linux
system performance. It reads kernel statistics directly from the
/proc and /sys interfaces, with no external monitoring daemons,
subprocess calls, or third-party dependencies for data collection.

kernstat reports CPU usage, memory consumption, disk space and I/O,
network throughput, and per-process statistics. Each command offers
human-readable output for interactive use and structured JSON output
for scripting, automation, and monitoring pipelines.

A live updating dashboard displays all key system metrics in a single
refreshing view, and a TOML configuration file lets you set defaults
such as the sampling interval and output format.

Available commands:

* kernstat cpu: CPU usage percentage
* kernstat memory: memory usage statistics
* kernstat disk: disk space and I/O rates
* kernstat network: network throughput
* kernstat proc PID: per-process statistics
* kernstat report: full system report
* kernstat dashboard: live updating dashboard

kernstat runs under strict confinement and requires no additional
interfaces. All functionality, including per-process inspection,
works within the default snap sandbox. This makes it a safe, minimal
footprint utility for servers, containers, and minimal Linux systems.
