Get hardware information from /proc filesytem in Linux

Question

I use execv to run lshw command to get the CPU, disk, and memory in C code. But I would like to search another solution to get these information fr

Answer 1

By reading the source code of lshw, I found that lshw read raw data from /sys/class/dmi/. Because lshw is written in CPP that I am not familiar with, there is a question Where does dmidecode get the SMBIOS table? mentioned that dmidecode.c read raw data from /sys/class/dmi that's same as lshw does.

Here are the definitions in dmidecode.c

#define SYS_ENTRY_FILE "/sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point"
#define SYS_TABLE_FILE "/sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI"

I extract code from dmidecode.c to get the CPU and memory information, and use lsscsi to get disk information.

Thanks for your help.
