[Open-scap] Where does openscap collect system characteristics.

[Adam Horeth]

Attempting to develop a small scanner that will collect syschars not from the machine itself,
but from a database that has been populated with the pertinent package information. After
running through a bit of the code and utilizing a debugger, i've seemed to narrow it down to
libopenscap.so. Is this where the openscap code queries the system itself? And if it is, does it
call on a bunch of shell scripts to get the info?

regards,
