Trying to write simple command line application that prints CPU info etc.
 
I know I have to obtain the information from /proc file system..such as cat /proc/cpuinfo.

But how can I print this information on std-out?
If I write something like observer it should print those information.
Thank you!

cat command is used to display a file.

Well what I've learned is that files inside /proc are not actually files. Anyways, any idea how to get into /proc/cpuinfo and display that information on stdout?

If you just want to show the info in terminal then
Quote:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
If you want to redirect the output of the command to a file then
Quote:
cat /proc/cpuinfo >filename

As said by ThinkFree,
use the cat command
