14       This file is provides a direct interface to libcpuid. See the usage()
15       function (or just run the program with the `--help' switch) for a short
16       command line options reference.
17
18       This file has several purposes:
19
20       1.  When started with no arguments, the program outputs the RAW and
21           decoded CPU data to files (`raw.txt' and `report.txt',
22           respectively) - this is intended to be a dumb, doubleclicky tool
23           for non-developer users, that can provide debug info about
24           unrecognized processors to libcpuid developers.
25
26       2.  When operated from the terminal with the `--report' option, it is a
27           generic CPU-info utility.
28
29       3.  Can be used in shell scripts, e.g. to get the name of the CPU,
30           cache sizes, features, with query options like `--cache',
31           `--brandstr', etc.
32
33       4.  Finally, it serves to self-document libcpiud itself :)
