SYNOPSIS

kern_return_t   host_kernel_version
                (host_t                                    host,
                 kernel_version_t                       version);

PARAMETERS

host

[in host-name send right] The name (or control) port for the host for which information is to be obtained.

version

[out array of char] Character string describing the kernel version executing on host.

DESCRIPTION

The host_kernel_version function returns the version string compiled into the kernel executing on host at the time it was built. This describes the version of the kernel. The constant KERNEL_VERSION_MAX (in \*L\*O) should be used to dimension storage for the returned string if the kernel_version_t declaration is not used.

RETURN VALUES

Only generic errors apply.
