So I've checked in the past, and I could not find any information so I let it rest. I'm curious what OS X APIs are called in apps like iStat Menu or other system information apps? I could not find what functions to call to get CPU temp or fan speeds. Are these kexts or very specific Unix system calls? I would be very grateful for anyone with insight!

I didn't actually know you could pass Google arguments specifying site? In the past when I queried I never got any useful information. Thanks for the tip – bj7 May 26 '15 at 17:31
