(→‎OS specific task: new section)
Line 13:
Some programming languages may provide OS agnostic routines/libraries to get similar information
(which would be superior to grepping around in <tt>/proc/stat</tt> IMO).
 
: Actually, it's probably better to have something like this be OS-specific. I've seen plenty of other tasks which are written in a way which implies they are OS-agnostic but where the difficulty of implementation is trivial for implementations which assume a specific OS context and near to implement portably without such assumptions. It'll never be perfect. And this one seems simple enough.
: That said, this one can be a pain if you don't have access to a linux implementation of your language. You can approximate, though, by using a surrogate file (representing /proc/stat) and code against that (changing it between reads). --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 16:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
