[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi Mark, It looks like igt-gpu-tools has changed quite a bit since your modifications were made. I found the remnants of your work on Github before starting my port. I am going to try to work around those libraries for now, but I'll probably end up porting procps and using linprocfs as you suggested. I appreciate the pointers and am thankful to have your old port for direction.
