== Description
A Ruby interface for getting system uptime information.

== Prerequisites
ffi 0.1.0 or later on Unixy platforms.

== Installation

gem install sys-uptime

== Synopsis
  require 'sys-uptime'
  include Sys

  # Get everything
  p Uptime.uptime
  p Uptime.dhms.join(', ')

  # Get individual units
  p Uptime.days
  p Uptime.hours
  p Uptime.minutes
  p Uptime.seconds

  # Get the boot time
  p Uptime.boot_time

== Notes
On MS Windows the +Uptime.uptime+ and +Uptime.boot_time+ methods optionally
takes a host name as a single argument. The default is localhost.

The current time, users and load average are not included in this library
module, even though you may be used to seeing them with the command
line version of +uptime+.

== Known Bugs
None that I am aware of. Please log any bugs you find on the project
website at https://github.com/djberg96/sys-uptime.

== Questions
"Doesn't Struct::Tms do this?" - No.

implementation for systems that have the utmpx.h header file for the
original C code.
