       This file is provides a direct interface to libcpuid. See the usage() function (or just run the program
       with the `--help' switch) for a short command line options reference.

       This file has several purposes:

       1.  When  started with no arguments, the program outputs the RAW and decoded CPU data to files (`raw.txt'
           and `report.txt', respectively) - this is intended to be a dumb, doubleclicky tool for  non-developer
           users, that can provide debug info about unrecognized processors to libcpuid developers.

       2.  When operated from the terminal with the `--report' option, it is a generic CPU-info utility.

       3.  Can  be  used  in  shell  scripts, e.g. to get the name of the CPU, cache sizes, features, with query
           options like `--cache', `--brandstr', etc.

       4.  Finally, it serves to self-document libcpiud itself :)
