Description
Noticed this was incorrect when writing some os-detection userland code. Took the liberty to add some notes about the os flat number versioning scheme.
before : man 3 sysctl
KERN_OSRELDATE The system release date in YYYYMM format (January 1996 is encoded as 199601). KERN_OSREV The system revision string.
after : man 3 sysctl
KERN_OSRELDATE The same as ‘KERN_OSREV’. KERN_OSREV The system revision number in base-10 format Mmmmpp, representing the following components: Code Component M major mmm minor pp patch The minor component is an even-number for release and odd-number for development branches.
