Ralph, > Ick - usually tools support some kind of version option. :-(
In the olden days, -V (big V) was a reasonably standard request for version no. (little V being verbosity). The GHNU command line parsing added the wordy options preceded by double dashes. Unfortunately, gcc does not follow this convention (aargh). > savaii:~ baker$ gcc -V > gcc-4.2: argument to `-V' is missing > savaii:~ baker$ gcc -v > Using built-in specs. > Target: i686-apple-darwin10 > Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5666.3~6/src/configure --disable-checking > --enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man > --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ > --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.2/ --with-slibdir=/usr/lib > --build=i686-apple-darwin10 --program-prefix=i686-apple-darwin10- > --host=x86_64-apple-darwin10 --target=i686-apple-darwin10 > --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.2.1 > Thread model: posix > gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3) Larry Baker US Geological Survey 650-329-5608 ba...@usgs.gov
