NAME

     version - display version identification of object  file  or
     binary

SYNOPSIS

     version [ filename...]

DESCRIPTION

     The version  command  displays  the  version  of  the  named
     file(s).

USAGE

     Type: version filename

     If the current working directory  is  not  the  installation
     directory  of the compiler(s) and other files to be checked,
     filename  must  be  the  full  path  to  their  installation
     directory.

     Further, you can invoke version also to display the  version
     ID   of  the  various  executables  that  operate  during  a
     compilation session by using the -V flag in the command line
     for the compilers:  cc, f77, f95, CC.

EXAMPLES

     If the current working directory contains the file(s)  whose
     version   are   to   be  displayed,  type  the  command  and
     filename(s), for example:

          version  f95
          version  iropt
     If the  current  working  directory  does  not  contain  the
     file(s),  the  argument  must  comprise  the  full  path and
     directory or filename to  the  file(s)  to  be  checked  for
     version  numbers.   For  example,  in the following commands
     path must give the full pathname to the file(s).

          version  /<path>/f95
          version  /<path>/WS6U1/iropt

NOTES

     The version command identifies the version  numbers  of  the
     installed   Sun   Developer  Products  compilers  and  their
     associated libraries and other files.

     The version command seeks and displays any string  of  ASCII
     characters  following  the @(#)RELEASE VERSION string.  This
     string must be identified correctly in the  source  file(s),
     depending  on operating system's version. This string should
     be in a #pragma ident, for example:


          #pragma ident @(#)RELEASE VERSION 8.2

     The version information string  following  this  version-key
     string   can   be   any  sequence  of  printable  characters
     terminated by  a  NEWLINE  or  NULL.   The  version  command
     displays  whatever  information is thus included in any file
     accessed by this command.

     The  version  command  utility  given  no  arguments   shows
     information  on the platform, the products installed and the
     configuration they belong to; for example:

          % version
          Machine hardware:   sun4u
          OS version:         5.7
          Processor type:     sparc
          Hardware:           SUNW,Ultra-1
