If you open up the computer's enclosure and find a serial number, and
if the computer has a file device, you can use the editor of your
choice to record the number in a file. You can then use fopen()
fgets() to retrieve that number.

You can't do that in standard C.

Furthermore, you can't do that in non-standard C on the majority of
computers, because low-end computers do not *have* CPU or motherboard
serial numbers.
