Hello,

What code would I use in C++ to find what OS the program is running on?

Thanks, and sorry for wasting your time with a stupid question.

Er, if it is compiled and running, you can assume it is running on the OS you compiled it for.

Clarification: Sorry, I meant what version of Ubuntu it is being run on.

Parse: /etc/issue.

As alternative for the already mentioned method you can parse the output of command lsb_release -a, or lsb_release -rci
