Yeah; a number of files in /proc do things when you write to them;
notably the ACPI stuff that I'm interested in. To change your speedstep
state, for instance, you write a "1" or "0" to
/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/performance; to go into sleep mode, write a
"1" (for S1 state) to /proc/acpi/sleep. There are other things too, like
I think you need to write a 1 to start IP forwarding and khttpd and a
few other things.

ATM, I really only care about Linux; AFAIK none of the BSDs seem to have
as good ACPI support as Linux, and I'm not familiar with Solaris at all.
See my comment to Nobu Nakada about "shorthanding" the interface
namespace though; it would be easy to plug in SysInfo extensions to do.

But yeah, I know that /proc is significantly different across OSs; I
prefer to think of it as Linux being right and the rest being broken,
but that's not a very pragmatic approach. So, I'm going to try the
namespace shorthand trick for now.

I'd prefer to avoid a C extension library if possible; Linux lets me do
this by reading all the data from /proc. In fact, I'm not sure if there
is any other way to get a lot of the hardware information. How do other
UNIXes let you get things like processor model/speed, memory
information, etc?

I'd like to put the model under the Sys:: namespace for consistency; if
you think it's a good idea; then I'm left with the question of what to
call it again. :) Sys::Hardware? Sys::Info seems too generic a name
(since Uptime, ProcTable, and Uname are both "Info" too).
