neither can.
What they do is not getting the client version, as that is impossible; the protocol does not support that.
What they do is getting the so called 'client id'. This is a number which represents what the client can do (and what not). But it does not indicate a version number at all. Although you could 'guess' what client version they are using based upon the supported features returned by the 'client id', but this is in no way a garantueed method.
