Invoke the system_profiler tool and parse its output; use

i am unable to find any API called "system_profiler()" that I can
call from my C++ (carbon) program.
are you thinking i need to call system("system_profiler -xml
SPHardwareDataType") ?
if so, where does the output go? how do i get it into a memory
buffer? am i supposed to pipe it to a temp file then read that
file to parse it?
Check "man popen". That may help.
