I'm writing an application that needs info on the machine cpu architecture, the cpu class, and the cpu features.
The machine cpu architecture seems to be available through sysctl CTL_HW HW_MACHINE_ARCH. However, I can't find any mention of what string values this returns. Is there a list of possible current values somewhere? For cpu class, I can't seem to find anything. The include file <machine/cputypes.h> has the kind of info I'm looking for defined (for i386), but I can't seem to find if it is available for userland programs. CPU features seem to be defined in <machine/specialreg.h> (for i386), but I can't find if they are available for userland programs either. I suppose they could be parsed from dmesg, but that would be a pretty hacky way of doing it. Is there any better way? Any help would be appreciated.
