VERS_STRING(1)                                                                                VERS_STRING(1)



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  sim-ply simply
       ply 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
