strings

The command strings can also be used. Its format is as follows:

$ strings /usr/lib/libinfinipath.so.4.0 grep Date:

will produce output like this:

$Date: 2006-09-15 04:07 Release2.0 InfiniPath $

NOTE: strings is part of binutils (a development RPM), and may not be available on all machines.

version

You can check the version of the installed InfiniPath software by looking in:

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ib_ipath/version

Example contents for QLogic-built drivers:

$Id: QLogic Release2.0 $ $Date: 2006-09-15-04:16 $

For non-Qlogic-built drivers (in this case kernel.org), it will look like this:

$Id: kernel.org InfiniPath Release2.0 $ $Date: 2006-09-15-04:18 $
