+@section Getting the system load average
+
+This section describes the @code{getloadavg} function, which gets the 1, 5
+and 15 minute load averages of the system. The load average is the number of
+processes in the system run queue, averaged over various periods of time
+(1, 5 and 15 minutes in this case).

+@deftypefun int getloadavg (double @var{loadavg}[], int @var{nelem})
+This function gets the 1, 5 and 15 minute load averages of the system. The
+values are placed in @var{loadavg}. The function will place at most
+@var{nelem} elements into the array, @var{loadavg}. Never are there more
+than three elements returned and possibly less than @var{nelem}. The return
+value is the number of elements written to @var{loadavg}, or -1 on error.
