获取系统硬件信息

- (NSString *) getSysInfoByName:(char *)typeSpecifier
{
    size_t size;
    sysctlbyname(typeSpecifier, NULL, &size, NULL, 0);
    
    char *answer = malloc(size);
    sysctlbyname(typeSpecifier, answer, &size, NULL, 0);
    
    NSString *results = [NSString stringWithCString:answer encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    
    free(answer);
    return results;
}


- (NSString *) platform
{
    return [self getSysInfoByName:"hw.machine"];
}

在实际开发中，有时需要考虑到兼容性问题，这两个信息还是很有用的，我一般都是程序开始时读取，存到公共变量里。

#import "sys/utsname.h"
 
/*!
 *  get the information of the device and system
 *  "i386"          simulator
 *  "iPod1,1"       iPod Touch
 *  "iPhone1,1"     iPhone
 *  "iPhone1,2"     iPhone 3G
 *  "iPhone2,1"     iPhone 3GS
 *  "iPad1,1"       iPad
 *  "iPhone3,1"     iPhone 4
 *  @return null
 */
- (void)getDeviceAndOSInfo
{
    //here use sys/utsname.h
    struct utsname systemInfo;
    uname(&systemInfo);
    //get the device model and the system version
    NSLog(@"%@", [NSString stringWithCString:systemInfo.machine encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
    NSLog(@"%@", [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion]);
}
