26*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
27*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<p>
28*e13b1fa5SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>host_kernel_version</strong> function returns the version
29*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributionsstring compiled into the
30*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributionskernel executing on <var>host</var> at the time it was built.  This describes
31*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributionsthe version of the kernel.  The constant <strong>KERNEL_VERSION_MAX</strong> (in
32*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions\*L<mach/host_info.h>\*O)
33*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributionsshould be used to dimension storage for the returned string if the
34*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<var>kernel_version_t</var> declaration is not used.
35*e13b1fa5SApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
