This isn't mips-specific, so maybe belongs on another list, but I figured someone here could probably answer just as quickly. I need to track versions of all files in the system (embedded, flash-based, no disk media), but cannot find a structure member where a version number can be stored in a file header. Most linux command line apps generally have a -version command line option, but is not viable for our application. Have I missed something? Is there a standard Linux method/practice for version number tracking and retrieval that is separate from CVS and the -version command switch, or do I have to use something proprietary? Or should I just try to use the file creation timestamp? Keith Siders Software Engineer Toshiba America Consumer Products, Inc.
