- stripExtractVersion :: String -> String
Documentation
stripExtractVersion :: String -> String
Extract the version number from the output of 'strip --version'.
Invoking strip --version gives very inconsistent results. We ignore
everything in parentheses (see #2497), look for the first word that starts
with a number, and try parsing out the first two components of it. Non-GNU
strip doesn't appear to have a version flag.
