func CurrentRelease

func CurrentRelease() (string, error)

CurrentRelease returns the current kernel release ensuring that ubuntu and debian release numbers are accurate.

func CurrentVersion

func CurrentVersion() (uint32, error)

CurrentVersion returns the current kernel version in LINUX_VERSION_CODE format (see VersionFromRelease())

func Version

func Version(major, minor, patch int) uint32

Version implements KERNEL_VERSION equivalent macro #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + ((c) > 255 ? 255 : (c)))

func VersionFromRelease

func VersionFromRelease(releaseString string) (uint32, error)

VersionFromRelease converts a release string with format 4.4.2[-1] to a kernel version number in LINUX_VERSION_CODE format. That is, for kernel "a.b.c", the version number will be (a<<16 + b<<8 + c)
