Depends on where you want to display it - on the machine where
client software resides, or in a database to which this client is
connected. OUI will show you the former (or you may try to
dig through the OUI inventory XML files yourself - it's in
$ORACLE_HOME/inventory/ContentsXML and the file you're after is
comps.xml - look for <PATCHSET> with largest VER attribute and
that will be the client libs version), but I am not aware of any method
to achieve the latter.
