Verify required kernel version before running the binary. #26

Open azubieta opened 3 years ago

azubieta commented 3 years ago

Rationale

Running a binary that requires a newer kernel ABI version than the system one causes a segfault and gives no clue of to the user of what just happened.

Proposal

Verify the kernel version before invoking a binary and print a meaningful error message if required.
