 A macro is provide in libproc/version.h to construct the code from its

 A startup call to set_linux_version may also be necessary.
 
 Of course, if a bug is due to a change in kernel file formats, it would
 be best to first try to generalize the parsing, since the code is then
 more resilient against future change.
