C++ application: how to access AIX process and cpu information?

Hi,

may be this is an AIX noob question:
my current C++ application runs on Linux and is quite memory consuming. Therefore, the application writes a logfile after it has finished containing memory information, CPU information, information on the running other processes besides my application etc.
On Linux I use the /proc/ pseudo-filesystem to access this information.
How can I do this for AIX? Is there any "standard" way how to do this (without calling any system commands and parsing its output)?

Thank you very much for your help!!

NAME
posix_madvise - memory advisory information SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h> int posix_madvise(void *addr, size_t len, int advice); DESCRIPTION
The posix_madvise() function advises the system on the expected behavior of the application with respect to the data in the memory starting at address addr, and continuing for len bytes. The system may use this information to optimize handling of the specified data. The posix_madvise() function has no effect on the semantics of access to memory in the specified range, although it may affect the performance of access. The advice to be applied to the memory range is specified by the advice parameter and may be one of the following values: POSIX_MADV_NORMAL Specifies that the application has no advice to give on its behavior with respect to the specified range. It is the default characteristic if no advice is given for a range of memory. POSIX_MADV_SEQUENTIAL Specifies that the application expects to access the specified range sequentially from lower addresses to higher addresses. POSIX_MADV_RANDOM Specifies that the application expects to access the specified range in a random order. POSIX_MADV_WILLNEED Specifies that the application expects to access the specified range in the near future. POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED Specifies that the application expects that it will not access the specified range in the near future. These values are defined in <sys/mman.h> RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, posix_madvise() returns zero. Otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error. ERRORS
The posix_madvise() function will fail if: EINVAL The value of advice is invalid. ENOMEM Addresses in the range starting at addr and continuing for len bytes are partly or completely outside the range allowed for the address space of the calling process. The posix_madvise() function may fail if: EINVAL The value of len is zero. ATTRIBUTES
