How do I check what version of syslinux I have?

Question

Is there an RPM independent way of determining the version say if one installed it from source? — Joshua Enfield, Feb 22, 2011 at 2:40

Since you're using CentOS, you can see what version of the RPM you have installed.

[user@host ~]$ which syslinux
/usr/bin/syslinux
[user@host ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/syslinux
syslinux-3.11-4
