How about when you run grub-mkrescue --version, it also calls the tools with --version so you get something like : grub-mkrescue (GRUB) 2.02~beta2-23 using /usr/bin/xorriso: xorriso 1.3.2 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project. mkisofs 2.01-Emulation Copyright (C) 2013 see libburnia-project.org xorriso xorriso 1.3.2 ISO 9660 Rock Ridge filesystem manipulator and CD/DVD/BD burn program Copyright (C) 2013, Thomas Schmitt <scdbac...@gmx.net>, libburnia project. xorriso version : 1.3.2 Version timestamp : 2013.08.07.110001 Build timestamp : -none-given- libisofs in use : 1.3.2 (min. 1.3.2) libjte in use : 1.0.0 (min. 1.0.0) libburn in use : 1.3.2 (min. 1.3.2) libburn OS adapter: internal GNU/Linux SG_IO adapter sg-linux libisoburn in use : 1.3.2 (min. 1.3.2) Provided under GNU GPL version 2 or later.
