=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This module is a wrapper around the sysinfo(2) Linux system call. It gives information about the current uptime, load average, memory usage and processes running. Other systems have also this system call (e.g. Solaris), but in most cases the returned information is different.
+This module is a wrapper around the C<sysinfo(2)> Linux system call.
+It gives information about the current uptime, load average, memory usage and processes running.
+Other systems have also this system call (e.g. Solaris), but in most cases the returned information is different.
=head1 CONSTANTS
=head2 C<LS_HAS_EXTENDED>
-This constant is set to 1 if your kernel supports the three extended fields C<totalhigh>, C<freehigh> and C<mem_unit> ; and to 0 otherwise.

=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 C<sysinfo>
-This function takes no argument. It returns undef on failure or a hash reference whose keys are the members name of the struct sysinfo on success :

Moreover, since the perl hash function has changed after the 5.6 version, you will also need to recompile the module if you upgrade your perl from a version earlier than 5.6.
