Is there in CYGWIN any system call which gets CPU utilized capacity at the present moment?
For instance :
int get_cpu_usage() which returns the percentage of used capacity.

I would like to write in my C-program something like :

if (get_cpu_usage() < 20)
{
   foo1();  // calling foo1() will be postponed
}
else
{
   foo2();
}
