Obtaining Utility Version Information

All Informix command-line utilities allow you to obtain version information using -V and -version options. You use the -V and -version options primarily for debugging. When a Technical Support representative asks for the version number, you can use the -V and -version options to find the information.

The -V option displays the software version number and the serial number.

The -version, extends the -V option to display additional information on the build operation system, build number, and build date.

Syntax of Utility-Specific Options

The following syntax diagram illustrates the -V and -version options

>>-utility--+-utility specific options-+-----------------------><
            +- -V----------------------+
            '- -version----------------'
 

The -V and -version options cannot be used with any other utility options. For example, the onstat -version command might display the following output.

onstat -version

        Program:          onstat
    Build Version:    10.00.UC1

    Build Date:       Sat Aug 12 03:38:27 CDT 2003
    GLS Version:      glslib-4.00.UC2

The onstat -V command might display the following information:
