System call for OS version info


  • Subject: System call for OS version info

Is there a low-level function call for obtaining the same OS info as the unix utility "sw_vers" returns (see below)? I've been browsing the kernel-level sysctl calls but I don't see anything promising. Or would it be better to just do a system invoke of "sw_vers" and parse the arguments for the MacOS version info? Whatever I end up using must work on all 64-bit processors.

$ sw_vers
ProductName:    Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.4.8
BuildVersion:   8L127

Thanks,

Tony
