Folks,

I am writing a device driver for current and past versions of (Open)Solaris

How can I check the version of the running kernel in the driver code ? I
tried using utsname.version (/.release) but it does not exist for Solaris 10
or older kernels. Is there any other literal/variable which spans current
and old Solaris kernels which can give the kernel version/ release
information ? For Eg : linux has LINUX_VERSION_CODE

Thanks in advance.
