How to get serial number or UUID of a PC on Linux?
In windows OS, we can get Serial Number in BIOS by querying WMI to identify a unique machine. Do we have any way to do this in Linux OS in C++? Do we have any API to do this? Thanks in advance!

You can use the Terminal. For example, in Ubuntu, you can launch this command:
sudo dmidecode –type system
The required info are in the System Information section.
P.S. you must have root privileges
