Ubuntu how to check current CPU temperature in C++

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. I want to write a c++ program that would give me the current CPU temperature. Is there a system call to get this data? I want to do it periodically, and pretty frequently. What is the best way to do it? Thanks

It appears this would do what you require: package lm_sensors and libsensors (to access it from your programs without reading the values from the sys/ files)
