cpuid_tool - Command line interface to libcpuid. Date 2008-11-19 Author Veselin Georgiev 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 :)
