I am looking for a method available to my cygwin'ed C-program that
delivers the current version of windows that my program is running on.
E.g. "WinXp, SP1", or "Win98 ..." (... you get the idea ...) either in
textual or numerically encoded form.
Any hint is appreciated. Thanks,
You could probably dig it out of the registry, but 'uname -s' will give
you something useful. On my XP Pro system, I get CYGWIN_NT-5.1 (XP is
"Windows NT 5.1"), for example.
