## host_kernel_version

Function - Return kernel version information for a host.

### SYNOPSIS

    kern_return_t   host_kernel_version
                    (host_t                                    host,
                     kernel_version_t                       version);

### PARAMETERS

host
  [in host-name send right] The name (or control) port for the host for which information is to be obtained.

version
  [out array of char] Character string describing the kernel version executing on host.

### DESCRIPTION

The host_kernel_version function returns the version string compiled into the kernel executing on host at the time it was built. This describes the version of the kernel. The constant KERNEL_VERSION_MAX (in \*L\*O) should be used to dimension storage for the returned string if the kernel_version_t declaration is not used.
