Title
Body
My application running on Mac OS X that needs to retrieve details about the machine it is running on to report for system information. One of the items I need is details about the processor(s) installed in the computer. My code currently works, but is far from an ideal solution, in fact I consider it a bad solution, but I have had no luck in finding a better one. The information I report currently and after some formatting looks like: Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz, Family 6 Model 23 Stepping 6 All of the info I get is through command-line utilities called from a popen(). The readable part of the processor description is taken from the "system_profiler" command output and the Family, Model, and Stepping values are taken from the "sysctl" command. These command-line utilities must be getting there information from somewhere. I'm wondering if there is an programmatic interface available to get this same info?
