It should be fairly simple to translate the following C code, If you don't mind parsing a string:
Code: Select all
char* cpu_brand() {
static char buffer[128];
size_t length = sizeof(buffer);
sysctlbyname("machdep.cpu.brand_string", &buffer, &length, NULL, 0);
return buffer;
}
What I get is the following output:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
The above should work on both Intel and PPC Mac systems.
Do "man sysctlbyname" for more info....

I tried this but get nothing
[edit] it works [/edit]
Code: Select all
ImportC "/usr/lib/libc.dylib";"/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib"
sysctlbyname.l(s.s,*buffer,*length,*null,*null2)
EndImport
*buffer = AllocateMemory(128)
length.l=MemorySize(*buffer)
err.l=sysctlbyname("machdep.cpu.brand_string", *buffer, @length, 0, 0);
MessageRequester(" ",PeekS(*buffer), 0)

Change length.l to:
SizeOf() won't work here.....
