AIX

Command to get the Compiler version(xlc/gcc) from the binary on AIX platform.
I m searching for the Command, to get the Compiler(xlc/gcc) used to build the binary on AIX.

I got two commands used on Linux Platform:

- readelf -a <lib> | grep comment
- hexdump -C -s 0x49e7b -n 1812 <lib>

but they are not working on AIX

Thanks In Advance

You might want to explore the "what" command ("man what") to get the revision information about the program. This probably will not tell you the compiler revision used to compile the program, though - not directly so. It *might* provide you with the information necessary to find out the used compiler maybe based on the library information and some arbitrary guesswork.

As a last-ditch effort you might use "strings program | more" and again use some educated guesses to find it out.

I hope this helps.
