Need version number of Linux

Need version number of Linux

Post by a.. » Sun, 10 Jul 1994 06:37:58



Hi all Linux'ers !

I'd really want to know how to read the exact version of Linux (the kernel)...
The FAQ says "uname -a", but that only gives tells me that I'm running
version 1.0, no minor number or patch level.

Could somebody please send me a note and let me know the magic command :-)

1. API NEEDED! - Extracting version numbers from Linux programs

Does Linux have an API for extracting the version number resource string
from binaries? If not, is there a standard offset where program version may
be found in compiled executables?
                                        TIA - Brian
(please CC to email.)
