NAME
check-kernel - check kernel sourcesDESCRIPTION
The check-kernel eclass provides an easy interface for detecting kernel sources and retrieving various information.VARIABLES
The following variables are exported by the check-kernel eclass:- KV_full
- Full kernel version (eg. 2.4.27-gentoo-r1)
- KV_major
- Major kernel version (eg. 2)
- KV_minor
- Minor kernel version (eg. 4)
- KV_micro
- Micro kernel version (eg. 27)
FUNCTIONS
- check_version_h
- Checks to make sure the /usr/src/linux symlink is correctly setup. If it is not, this function will print a huge error message and halt the emerge process.
- get_KV_info
- Parses the kernel's version.h to fill in the ${KV_full}, ${KV_major}, ${KV_minor}, and ${KV_micro} variables.
- NOTE: The following functions all return shell true/false.
- is_2_4_kernel
- Checks for kernel version 2.4.
- is_2_5_kernel
- Checks for kernel version 2.5.
- is_2_6_kernel
- Checks for kernel version 2.6.
