PrlSrv_SubscribeToHostStatistics Function

The following is a complete example that demonstrates how to obtain statistics data asynchronously using PrlSrv_SubscribeToHostStatistics. Note that the same code could be used to receive statistics data for a virtual machine, instead of the host computer, by using PrlVm_SubscribeToGuestStatistics instead of PrlSrv_SubscribeToHostStatistics, and passing it a handle to a virtual machine that is running. This would also require using PrlVm_UnsubscribeFromGuestStatistics to stop receiving statistics data for the virtual machine.
