hi there,

i don't know a lot about C, but i would suggest that you can use something like fget() or fread() in the following file:

Code:

/proc/cpuinfo

then get the output of the commands like

Code:

df

to get harddisk information.

and so on...

if your question concern some C builtin library that has all of these things already implemented, ignore my answer.
