lil c++ help needed

[Battery Powered]

I want a small c++ app that will show me information about my system, such as kernal info, current IP address, uptime and load

(and possibly some others) - but thats enough for me to start with

Could someone give some help s to how i would get this info, like a small peice of code explainging it,

Im pretty sure for something like uptime and load i can just print the contense of /proc/uptime (im on linux) but very new to this so need ideas,

Thx,
James

I'm not sure if it'd work the same on linux, but on windows you can use standard windows api calls for most of those.
