.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm freebsd-version
|
|
.Nd print the version and patch level of the installed system
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl ku
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility makes a best effort to determine the version and patch level
|
|
of the installed kernel and / or userland.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
Print the version and patch level of the installed kernel.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.Xr uname 1 ,
|
|
if a new kernel has been installed but the system has not yet
|
|
rebooted,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will print the version and patch level of the new kernel.
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Print the version and patch level of the installed userland.
|
|
These are hardcoded into
|
|
.Nm
|
|
during the build.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If both
|
|
.Fl k
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
are specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will print the kernel version first, then the userland version, on
|
|
separate lines.
|
|
If neither is specified, it will print the userland version only.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility should provide the correct answer in the vast majority of
|
|
cases, including on systems kept up-to-date using
|
|
.Xr freebsd-update 8 ,
|
|
which does not update the kernel version unless the kernel itself was
|
|
affected by the latest patch.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To determine the name (and hence the location) of a custom kernel, the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will attempt to parse
|
|
.Pa /boot/defaults/loader.conf
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.conf ,
|
|
looking for definitions of the
|
|
.Va kernel
|
|
and
|
|
.Va bootfile
|
|
variables, both with a default value of
|
|
.Dq kernel .
|
|
It may however fail to locate the correct kernel if either or both of
|
|
these variables are defined in a non-standard location, such as in
|
|
.Pa /boot/loader.rc .
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ROOT
|
|
.It Ev ROOT
|
|
Path to the root of the filesystem in which to look for
|
|
.Pa loader.conf
|
|
and the kernel.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
To determine the version of the currently running userland:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
/bin/freebsd-version -u
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To inspect a system being repaired using a live CD:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
mount -rt ufs /dev/ada0p2 /mnt
|
|
env ROOT=/mnt /mnt/bin/freebsd-version -ku
|
|
