Here's the LSB version and distribution identification proposal rewritten from using a file into a command that takes standard options (makes it easier to handle translations).
There will be a program called lsb_release in /bin and it will accept the following arguments: -v, --version Display version of LSB against which distribution is compliant. This would be a numerical value (ie containing only digit and '.' characters, eg 1.0, or 2.0.1 etc) -i, --id Display string id of distributor. This is a single word containing only alphanumeric characters (eg RedHat, Debian, Caldera, Corel). -d, --description Diplay single line text description of distribution (and could change depending on the locale settings). -r, --release Display release number of distribution. This would be a numerical value. -a, --all Display all of the above information Is it necessary to also specify a C library api for the above?
