Qt - Get system information

Question

I'm looking for a (portable) way to get system information, i.e cpu clock and manufacturer, available memory, etc.

Is there a way to do this with Qt or do I have to write OS specific code?

Answer 1

I don't think that there is anything built into Qt to get these kind of details. On linux, all of this is available through /proc/cpuinfo. If you are targeting other platforms, you may want to just go directly to using the cpuid instruction (assuming x86/x86-64).
