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.

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 :)
