The library enables Ubuntu Pro client to retrieve machine information and check hardware certification status.

Currently limited to x86-64 systems, the library is being added to default desktop and server installations, with plans to backport it to earlier Ubuntu versions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
