Platform Specific Notes
=======================

Unless explicitly mentioned below assume that libstatgrab will run on
any of the platforms above without any elevated privileges.

Linux
-----

On older Linux kernels root privileges are required to get the
statistics returned by the get_network_iface_stats function. Not
having these privileges results in NULL being returned.

Also note that this cannot be solved by calling sg_init and then
sg_drop_privileges at this stage.
