CPU(3)

💻 CPU(3) — Sys::CPU, but make it group chat ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Sys::CPU page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew. We're talking CPU(3), and yes, it's giving “small module, big CPU-counting energy.” 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

Sys::CPU — a Perl extension for getting CPU information. Currently only number of CPU's supported. That's literally what the NAME says, bestie, and I'm not gonna gaslight you about it. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the vibe-check code is literally this:

use Sys::CPU;

$number_of_cpus = Sys::CPU::cpu_count();
printf("I have %d CPU's\n",$number_of_cpus);
print "  Speed : ",Sys::CPU::cpu_clock(),"\n";
print "  Type  : ",Sys::CPU::cpu_type(),"\n";

that's the whole synopsis, no cap. 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

In responce to a post on perlmonks.org — yes, “responce” is the spelling from the original, bestie — this is a module for counting the number of CPU's on a system. Iconic origin story, honestly. 🫶

Support has now also been added for type of CPU and clock speed. So it's not just a one-trick CPU-counter anymore — it's giving main character energy. 💅

While much of the code is from UNIX::Processors, win32 support has been added (but not tested).

⚠️ win32 support has been added, but it is not tested — the original says so, fr fr. Don't @ me. 💀

Version tea, in order:

• v0.45 — Corrected solaris support (Thanks Cloyce)
• v0.60 — Added FreeBSD support (Thanks Johan & SREZIC)
• v0.61 — Fix test numbering issue

🎀 EXPORT 🎀

None by default. That's it. No exports, no extra goodies, no cap. 🎀

👑 AUTHOR 👑

Matt Sanford. That's the author, periodt. 💖

💅 MAINTENANCE 💅

Marc Koderer. He's on maintenance duty, bestie. 🛠️

📜 LICENSE 📜

Okay so the original page has the LICENSE heading and then… literally nothing under it. No license text shown here. Not me staring at an empty section, but here we are. 🙈
