site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev@lists.apple.com Invoke the system_profiler tool and parse its output; use something like "system_profiler -xml SPHardwareDataType". 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? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
