Find RedHat version.
How can I find out with a C program, on which RedHat version the program is being ran ? I do know through compilation variables that I'm on RedHat but so far cannot find out which one.
Currently the closest I got was to invoke an ls or cat through syscall for the release or motd files.
Thanks:
Amir
