-VERSion - give version information

-VERSion [ info-name ]

-VERSion -Help

The -VERSion command is used to give version information and conditions of use.

There are a number of possible info-names, as follow (abbreviations as for command line options):

Copyright

The copyright notice for the program. Version information will also be printed. This is the default.

Redistribution

Print the conditions of use and redistribution.

Warranty

Print the limited warranty.

The following options are understood:

-Help

This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the program.

All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are optional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters.

All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important.

For example: the arguments "-project, "-PROJ" and "-p" are all interpreted to mean the -Project option. The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied.

Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line, after the function selectors.

The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "--option=value" convention is also understood.

The recommended alias for this command is

csh%	alias aev ' -vers \!*'
sh$	aev(){ -vers "$@"}

It is an error if the info-name given is unknown.

The command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors.

See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command. See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's project_%specific field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.
