[erlang-questions] determining what erts version a .beam was compiled with

[Bengt Kleberg]

beam_lib:chunks/2 works for me:

3> ls().
be_lib.beam
ok
4> beam_lib:chunks( "be_lib.beam", [compile_info]).
{ok,{be_lib,
         [{compile_info,
              [{options,
                   [{cwd,"/home/dev_patches"},
                    {outdir,"/home/dev_patches"}]},
               {version,"4.3.7"},
               {time,{2005,8,22,15,2,36}},
               {source,"/home/dev_patches/be_lib.erl"}]}]}}
