How To Find Out FreeBSD Version and Patch Level Number

To find the version and patch level number of a FreeBSD system, you can use the following command:

freebsd-version -ku

This will print the version and patch level of the FreeBSD operating system.

For example, if your system is running FreeBSD 12.2, the output will be:

12.2-RELEASE

If your system has any patches installed, the patch level number will be included in the output. For example:

12.2-RELEASE-p4

This indicates that the system has 4 patches installed.
