NAME

vers_string − produce version identification string

SYNOPSIS

vers_string [ −[c | f | l] ] PROGRAM

DESCRIPTION

Vers_string outputs a string made up of the SGS version name, the current user’s login identifier, and the current time and date.  Vers_string may only be used within an SGS project. 

The output of vers_string has the following format:

PROGRAM:prog  PROJECT:proj&vers DEVELOPER:bob  BUILT:Thu Dec 31 ...

prog is the command line argument PROGRAM, proj&vers is the name of the SGS version root, and bob is the user who built this version. 

If the −c option is used, the output is formed as a C declaration for the global character array SGS_VERS. If the −l option is used, the output is formed like the -c option, but "PROGRAM" is replaced with "LIBRARY" and the declaration is static.  If the −f option is used, the output is simply the program name and suffixed with the current version number of the SGS version root. 

Vers_string is typically used within makefiles with a rule like:

vers.c: ${OBJS}
vers_string -c ${PROGRAM} >vers.c
