    Hi folks,
     
     I would like to check the kernel version, getting
    the same result as :

    uname -r

    but inside a C program.
    Is there an API function or system call I can use ?
    Otherwise I could always look into :

    /usr/include/linux/version.h

    but, perhaps there is shorter way ?
    Thank you,

    Michelangelo
