Package `taskstats` provides access to Linux's taskstats interface, for sending

per-task, per-process, and cgroup statistics from the kernel to userspace. MIT

Licensed.

For more information on taskstats, please see:

## Notes

* When instrumenting Go programs, use either the `taskstats.Self()` or

  `taskstats.TGID()` method.  Using the `PID()` method on multithreaded

  programs, including Go programs, will produce inaccurate results.

* Access to taskstats requires that the application have at least `CAP_NET_RAW`

  capability (see

  [capabilities(7)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html)).

  Otherwise, the application must be run as root.

* If running the application in a container (e.g. via Docker), it cannot be run

  in a network namespace -- usually this means that host networking must be

  used.
