Help with linux page faults/kernel stats needed

[Richmond69]

I'm relatively new to Linux, would appreciate it if someone could help me out a bit. Is there a function, or some groups of functions that keep statistics of kernel operation? I was told there is by a co- worker, but she can't remember what it is and I haven't been able to find anything. Basically, I need to find it, and find the page faults and other related numbers for my system. Thanks in advance.

You can use vmstat to see how things are currently, top to get a "who is doing what now" view and iostat to see your disk activity.

These information should be available through sysctl() or reading /proc.

If I get to a Linux box, I'll post some code.
