What is the equivalent of /proc/cpuinfo on FreeBSD v8.1?


What is the equivalent of Linux's /proc/cpuinfo on FreeBSD v8.1? My application reads /proc/cpuinfo and saves the information in the log file, what could I do to get similar information logged on FreeBSD?

A sample /proc/cpuinfo looks like this:

processor   : 0
vendor_id   : GenuineIntel
cpu family  : 6
model       : 23
model name  : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5420  @ 2.50GHz

Solution

  • Use dmidecode command:

    # dmidecode -t processor -t cache
    # dmidecode 3.0
    Scanning /dev/mem for entry point.
    SMBIOS 2.4 present.
