    use Sys::Statistics::Linux::SockStats;
    my $lxs  = Sys::Statistics::Linux::SockStats->new;
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Sys::Statistics::Linux::SockStats gathers socket statistics from the virtual */proc* filesystem (procfs).

## METHODS

### new()

Call `"new()"` to create a new object.

```
    my $lxs = Sys::Statistics::Linux::SockStats->new;
```

It's possible to set the path to the proc filesystem.

```
     Sys::Statistics::Linux::SockStats->new(
        files => {
            # This is the default
            path => '/proc',
            sockstat => 'net/sockstat',
        }
    );
```

### get()

Call `"get()"` to get the statistics. `"get()"` returns the statistics as a hash reference.

```
    my $stat = $lxs->get;
```
