NAME
version - print kernel version identification string
SYNOPSIS
version [ -M ] [ -s symbol ] [ name-list-file ]
DESCRIPTION
This program simply examines the currently installed kernel
to
obtain the version identification string. This string is
then
printed on the standard output.
When the -M option is used, the
Macintosh System Environment
(_SysEnvirons) version information is read from the
currently
running MacOS, and is printed on the standard output.
When the -s option is used, the
following symbol is looked up in
the name list file and its address is printed.
If a name list file argument is
specified, it is used instead of
the default path, /vmunix.
The kernel version string
currently consists of the following
fields: the operating system name, the version number, and
the date
the version was built.
FILES
/vmunix default kernel name list file
/dev/kmem default kernel image file
