Most versions of UNIX have the ident utility. You can also try the what command on the executable image file.

If you want to create entries in C source so you can see them using what (running against a compiled file):
Code:
static char *idubpbilp_h=
     "@(#) $Header: ubpbilp.h in situ NO DATE jmc";

The @(#) thing is called a what string and allows what to see it.

but when I use the command to find info of windows executable (taken from my windows machine ) it gives no result.
$ ident ~/WINWORD.EXE
~/WINWORD.EXE:
ident warning: no id keywords in ~/WINWORD.EXE

is any other way?

try
Code:
file filename.exe  # for a clean 'summary' 
man objdump  # for a more 'detailed' info

thanks andryk

objdump command gives a detailed information about exe.

Now what I want is ' to extract ( or make with combination of two or more fields ) a unigue id of that exe file' that can be used as an identifier between different exe file.

So can you guide me abt this...

thanks again.
