version(1)                                             version(1)



     NAME
          version - reports version number of files

     SYNOPSIS
          version name...

     DESCRIPTION
          version takes a list of files and reports the version
          number.  If the file is not a binary, it reports:

             not a binary

          If no version number is associated with the file, it re-
          ports:

             No version header

          version also reports the object file format of the file,
          i.e., either

             Coff object file format

          or

             Old a.out object file format.

          version is useful for determining which version of the
          current program you are running.

     EXAMPLES
          The command

             version /bin/version

          prints the version number of the version program.

     FILES
          /bin/version
