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:  PRO-
       GRAM: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 dec-
       laration  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 out-
       put  is simply the program name and suffixed with the cur-
       rent 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
