This does not distinguish between, for instance, 6.2.1 and 6.2.1B.
Is there a way to detect the current patch level?

I think it would depend on whether or not the developers changed the
information in procnto – and on whether or not the patch includes a new
version of procnto.

The output from uname does include the timestamp for the OS, but that
might not help you.

(Someone else might be able to give you more information.)

The installer should list the version of the packages you’ve installed,
including the patch level.

There is also the _NTO_VERSION inside sys/neutrino.h, but same there, won’t
show the patchlevel.
