A simple library to provide support for parsing the os-release on any linux distribution that has adopted the os-release standard reference.
The uname routine is used to obtain the following information:
- System Name
- Node name
- Release
- Version
- Machine
struct unix_version_t *version = get_unix_information();
if (version)
{
if (version->os_release)
{
if (version->os_release->pretty_name) // This may want to be checked as the memory is allocated.
{
printf("os %s", version->os_release->pretty_name);
}
}
printf("kernel %s\n", version->uname_information->sysname);
printf("kernel version %s\n", version->uname_information->release);
printf("network identifier %s\n", version->uname_information->nodename);
free_unix_information(version);
