 ## Debugging
 
-### Checking the UMF version and CMake variables (Linux only)
+### Checking UMF version and build options
 
-Strings with the UMF version and useful CMake variables can be grepped in the following way:
+From an already built UMF shared library you can obtain UMF precise version and
+CMake variables/options it was built with. It's not only useful to verify what should
+be included within the library, but also for debugging. If you're filing an issue to
+UMF project, please include this information in your ticket.

+#### Linux
+
+Make sure the `binutils` package is installed in your system. Then, you can use
+the following grep command:
 
 ```bash
 $ strings libumf.so | grep "@(#)"

-#### Requirements
+Please note, that version available in the name of library file (e.g. `libumf.so.0.11.0`)
+may be not accurate - version coded inside of the library is far more precise.

+#### Windows

+On Windows, DLL's metadata can be accessed e.g. looking into *Properties* of the dll file
+in the explorer. Look into the *Details* tab for "Product version" and "File description"
+(it contains UMF's build options).
