Re: Extracting System Info

[MZSanford]

Just so i can get a better idea, what kind of machine is this ?

Well, found some info on the /proc/pci (i had not worked with it before), and whipped up a quick starter ... use at your own risk, your milage may vary ...blah blah blah. Hope it helps.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my @devices;
$/ = "\n  ";
while (my $lines = <DATA>) {
    my %hash;
    if ($lines =~ m/Bus (\d+), device (\d+), function (\d+):/) {
        $hash{bus} = $1;
        $hash{device} = $2;
        $hash{function} = $3;
    }
    ## parse other lines ...
    push @devices,\%hash;
}

# use @devices

remeber the immortal word's of Socrates who said, "I drank what ?"

In this case, you treat /proc/pci per line. Perhaps you would like to read the file by records, like:

  # example of a full record
  Bus 0, device 0, function 0: 
    Host bridge: Intel Unknown device (rev 3). 
      Vendor id=8086. Device id=7190. 
      Medium devsel. Master Capable. Latency=64. 
      Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe6000000 [0xe6000008].

If so, you only need to make a slight modification to MZSanford code:

use strict;
my @devices;
undef $/;
foreach (split /\n\s\s\b/, <DATA>) {
    # you now have the whole record in $_
    # do with it as you please
}
<snip>

- Good luck

The machine is a standard Intel Pentium PC. The section of /proc/pci I am interested in, looks like this:-

Bus 0, device 15, function 0
Unknown class: Unknown vendor Unknown device (rev 1).
Vendor id=135a. Device id=61.
Medium devsel. Fast back-to-back capable. IRQ 9
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x412000000
I/O at 0x2080
I/O at 0x2400
I/O at 0x2410
Blah..
Blah..

I am interested in seeking out devices with this vendor and device id and then getting just the I/O entires (just 2nd and 3rd though, not interested in the first. I tried the posted example but got:

Name "main::DATA" used only once: possible type at line 6
readline() on closed filehandle main::DATA at line 6..

Ahhh...

[Cirollo]

The stuff that he put after the __END__ line gets read into the filehandle called DATA. So, what you want to do is open up /proc/pci yourself (since you won't have the data embedded in your script.)

Try putting this line before the while loop:
open(DATA, '/proc/pci') or die "Can't open /proc/pci: $!";
