Get the CPU speed from /proc/cpuinfo

Hi.

Can someone guide me to the right direction?

I want to make an application that just extracts the cpu speed, and vendorname from the file /proc/cpuinfo.



My current distro is Ubuntu 8.10 desktop.

Regards

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Read the file to see how the information you want is stored.
Write a program to parse the file.

This is what I need help doing. I've done all the cat'ing ...

And what exactly are you having problems with?

Somebody already did that:

egrep ("processor|cpu MHz|vendor_id") /proc/cpuinfo

I threw "processor" in since that is the processor number; if you have more than one this info prints out for each, eg:

Code:

---

processor        : 0
vendor_id        : GenuineIntel
cpu MHz                : 2200.074
processor        : 1
vendor_id        : GenuineIntel
cpu MHz                : 2200.074

Yes, now we're getting somewhere .

I've got some ideas.

Thank you all!
