=head1 NAME
Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats - Collect linux paging and swapping statistics.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats;
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats->new;
$lxs->init;
sleep 1;
my $stat = $lxs->get;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats gathers paging and swapping statistics from the virtual F</proc> filesystem (procfs).
For more informations read the documentation of the front-end module L<Sys::Statistics::Linux>.
=head1 PAGING AND SWAPPING STATISTICS
Generated by F</proc/stat> or F</proc/vmstat>.
pgpgin - Number of kilobytes the system has paged in from disk per second.
pgpgout - Number of kilobytes the system has paged out to disk per second.
pswpin - Number of kilobytes the system has swapped in from disk per second.
pswpout - Number of kilobytes the system has swapped out to disk per second.
The following statistics are only available by kernels from 2.6.
pgfault - Number of page faults the system has made per second (minor + major).
pgmajfault - Number of major faults per second the system required loading a memory page from disk.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new()
Call C<new()> to create a new object.
my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::PgSwStats->new;
=head2 init()
Call C<init()> to initialize the statistics.
$lxs->init;
=head2 get()
Call C<get()> to get the statistics. C<get()> returns the statistics as a hash reference.
