I have a C++ application that gets detailed system information (processor type, available disk space, other hardware profile info) on Windows using WMI. I want to perform the same type of operations on OSX 10.5+. What is the equivalent API or interface for MacOS?
Links to API documentation or tutorials are very welcome.
You can query most of that information through the
