 Depends on what you're looking for. Linux generally avoids syscalls for that stuff,
and uses the /proc filesystem. For information on the physical CPUs installed in the
system, you can use "cat /proc/cpuinfo". For information on CPU usage, you can try
"cat /proc/stat" and "cat /proc/loadavg", though you'll need to do some digging to
understand what all the numbers mean.

 Sincerely,
