Hi Guys Thank you for your response.
Consul is go executable. I can get version using /bin/consul version command but I need to find the version using string search in executable file data. I noticed some pattern in executables 1.8.312345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ => 1.8.3 1.8.212345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ => 1.8.2 1.8.112345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ => 1.8.1 1.8.012345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ 1.7.712345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ 1.7.612345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ 1.7.412345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ 1.7.312345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ 1.7.212345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ 1.6.812345156252160h3100043191500ms781258760h94105:***@ the first 3 digits are version number in above strings which we found them executable but I don't find this string in all versions of consul So does go use any specific delimiter before or after adding version numbers in executable file (compiled file)? do you have any idea to get version number from go executable without executing it which is common for all?
