<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>linux-version</B> operates on Linux kernel version strings as
|
|
<DD>reported by <B>uname -r</B> and used in file and directory names.
|
|
These version strings do not follow the same rules as Debian package
|
|
version strings and should not be compared as such or as arbitrary
|
|
strings.
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>compare</B><I> VERSION1 OP VERSION2</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
Compare version strings, where <I>OP</I> is a binary
|
|
operator. <B>linux-version</B> returns success (zero result) if the
|
|
specified condition is satisfied, and failure (nonzero result)
|
|
otherwise. The valid operators are: <B>lt le eq ne ge gt</B>
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>sort</B> [<B>--reverse</B>] [<I>VERSION1 VERSION2</I> ...]<DD>
|
|
Sort the given version strings and print them in order from lowest to
|
|
highest. If the <B>--reverse</B> option is used, print them in order
|
|
from highest to lowest.
|
|
<DL COMPACT><DT id="6"><DD>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
If no version strings are given as arguments, the version strings will
|
|
instead be read from standard input, one per line. They may be
|
|
suffixed by arbitrary text after a space, which will be included in
|
|
the output. This means that, for example:
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
linux-version list --paths | linux-version sort --reverse
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
will list the installed versions and corresponding paths in order
|
|
from highest to lowest version.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
|
|
<DT id="7"><B>list</B> [<B>--paths</B>]<DD>
|
|
List kernel versions installed in the customary location. If the
|
|
<B>--paths</B> option, show the corresponding path for each version.
