    Getting CPU Information from C program

    I need to gather CPU and network interface stats from a C program. Is there a more portable way to get the CPU model name than reading the "/proc/cpuinfo" file? How would I get this information from a non-Linux OS or from Windows using C?

    Also, is there a system call I can make from C to get the number of packets received and sent from eth0 without having to read the "/proc/net/devs" file?

    Thanks in advance,
    BT
