In side the android package, it include a libc but no version number.
Where can I find the version number of it?

Maybe you can see the version number through command line( -console ).
The same as the method in desktop PC.

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is what you want to know, but the Android C library is a custom one, and doesn't provide a "version number" at the moment.
its source code will be available with the rest of the platform in the near future.

What would that tell you? Android uses a completely nonstandard libc, evidently based on code taken from some BSD distribution. It doesn't use glibc, so it's not clear what a version number, whether it was v0.00001 or v974, would tell you...

Hah...near future
I look forward to it.
Does it mean all of the libs source code will be public?
