Syslinux - Aug 2007 - How to show the version of syslinux?

syslinux usage does not include "--version"
----------------
./syslinux --version
Usage: ./syslinux [-sfr][-d directory][-o offset] device
---------------

As I know, other utilities support "--version", eg.,
---------------
linux:/tmp/syslinux-3.51/unix # wget --version

That's right, it doesn't.

You can get it with strings though.

You mean the following approach?
# strings /usr/bin/syslinux  | grep SYSLINUX
SYSLINUX
SYSLINUX 3.11 0x4639e756
SYSLINUXCFGsyslinux.cfg

Then we know it is 3.11 ?
