That's certainly not a very proper name for a public API.
Do you need to use this in a library that is part of the
implementation of a standard with name space constraints
such as ISO C or POSIX?

I think AT_HWCAP may have originated in Solaris.
Does it have any public interface for getting the bits?


Thanks,
Roland
