Detailed Description

SaX2 - Import SYSP class.

The SaXImportSysp class provides an abstraction for the Sysp interface layer. The class inherits from SaXProcess which itself inherits from SaXStorage. the data is obtained from a sysp process call and is stored into the protected area of a storage object. sysp is the system profiler used with SaX2. The system profiler provides information about the hardware only. Stuff like PCI ID's, card memory, etc. is handled within Sysp. Sysp is a read only interface and according to this the class SaXImportSysp can only be used to obtain information. A SaXImportSysp object will be constructed with one parameter which defines the section to import. there are five SYSP sections available:

SYSP_MOUSE
Provides hardware information about mice. This includes the protocol and the device as well as information about buttons and wheels. The information is usefull in combination with an ISAX imported SaXImport (SAX_POINTERS) object

SYSP_KEYBOARD
Provides hardware information about the core keyboard. This includes the model and layout as well as information about XKB variants and/or options The information is usefull in combination with an ISAX imported SaXImport(SAX_KEYBOARD) object

SYSP_CARD
Provides hardware information about the graphics cards. This includes the location on the PCI/AGP Bus as well as information about the vendor specific PCI ID's and the needed driver information. The information is usefull in combination with an ISAX imported SaXImport(SAX_CARD) object

SYSP_DESKTOP
Provides hardware information about the connected monitors. This includes the data from the DDC record if available as well as information about the location of the primary VGA and the name of the monitor if it has been found in the CDB. The information is usefull in combination with an ISAX imported SaXImport(SAX_DESKTOP) object

SYSP_3D
Provides hardware information about the 3D capabilities of the card. This includes information about needed packages and some flags for special cases like nvidia binary only stuff. The information is usefull in combination with an ISAX imported SaXImport(SAX_DESKTOP) object

Example:

 #include <sax/sax.h>

 SaXImportSysp* card = new SaXImportSysp (SYSP_CARD);
 card->doImport();

 if (card->getItem("VID")) {
     printf ("%s\n",card->getItem("VID").ascii());
 }
