get load average of the system

int
kvm_getloadavg
(kvm_t
*kd, double
loadavg[], int
nelem);
The kvm_getloadavg
() function returns the number of
processes in the system run queue of the kernel indicated by
kd, averaged over various periods of time. Up to
nelem samples are retrieved and assigned to successive
elements of loadavg[]. The system imposes a maximum of 3
samples, representing averages over the last 1, 5, and 15 minutes,
respectively.
If the load average was unobtainable, -1 is returned; otherwise, the number of
samples actually retrieved is returned.
