Not no way, but no reason to. :-)

Just to tease you a little bit, you don't really mean that. You let
emacs rely on the OS to provide a machine abstraction, for instance. I
doubt you want to write directly to the hardware in elisp.
Once you accept there's no "everything", you're on a slippery slope.
The question becomes merely, "how can emacs most readily obtain the
information I want?" And to that, I have an answer for you!
The ImageMagick package includes a utility "identify" that surely
produces the information you need. If I wanted something to "guess the
width= and height= attributes" of a file, I'd probably write a little
awk script to spit out the HTML I wanted, and invoke that
from emacs. If I wanted to do everything in emacs, I guess I'd invoke
"identify" directly, and winnow its output in elisp.
HTH.
