HPUX kernel version

yck — Mon, 26 Aug 2002 00:45:19 GMT

Hi all,

Is that possible to get kernel version of HPUX machine at runtime by using C/C++ code or API? If yes, how could we do it? Thanks.

There are 2 system calls that can be of use: uname() and sysconf. Man 2 sysconf and man 2 uname for details. You should be warned that you may be writing non-portable code.

Hi all,

Actually I'm trying to refer to sysconf, getconf but there is no parameter to let me get kernel version of a local HPUX machine. Do I miss out somethings?

How about using the

uname -r

That is operating system version... Not kernel version.

Hi CK,

# what /stand/vmunix

This gives lots of kernel related information.

However, I need to retrieve the kernel version of HPUX machine by using C/++ API..
Could it be possible to do it?

Thanks

A bare bones version of what you are asking
for would seem to be:

#include
main()
{
struct utsname u;
uname(&u);
printf("%s\n", u.release);
exit(0);
}
