make uname(2) system call and look at the version field, like this:
# truss -v uname -a 2>&1 | grep uname
execve("/bin/uname", ["uname", "-a"], [/* 27 vars */]) = 0
uname({sysname="Linux", nodename="saturn", release="2.3.99-pre4", version="#3
SMP Fri Mar 31 19:44:21 BST 2000", machine="i686"}) = 0
then parse the ASCII string version[] from utsname. Also, read
uname(2) manpage, of course
