Folks,
I am writing a device driver for current and past versions of (Open)Solaris
How can I check the version of the running kernel in the driver code ? I tried
using utsname.version (/.release) but it does not exist for Solaris 10 or older
kernels. Is there any other literal/variable which spans current and old
Solaris kernels which can give the kernel version/ release information ? For Eg
: linux has LINUX_VERSION_CODE
Why do you think you need to do that ?
Unlike Linux Solaris has a very very stable API and ABI for device drivers.
See the "Writing Device Drivers" section of the docs.sun.com
documentation on Solaris - which applies to OpenSolaris as well.
