|---|
| 10 | .I Xversion |
|---|
| 11 | prints to standard output the major version number of the X server |
|---|
| 12 | running on screen 0 of the workstation. If the |
|---|
| 13 | .B -r |
|---|
| 14 | flag is specified, |
|---|
| 15 | .I xversion |
|---|
| 16 | will also print out the minor protocol revision number associated with |
|---|
| 17 | the X server. If |
|---|
| 18 | .I xversion |
|---|
| 19 | cannot make a connection to the server, it prints the text '?unknown'. |

|---|
| 21 | The format of the output string depends on whether the |
|---|
| 22 | .B -r |
|---|
| 23 | flag is specified. If it is not, the output string will just be a |
|---|
| 24 | number representing the major protocol revision. If the |
|---|
| 25 | .B -r |
|---|
| 26 | flag is specified, the output string is XnRn. For example, if the X |
|---|
| 27 | server that is currently running on display 0 is X11R3, the output |
|---|
| 28 | string will be "X11R3". |
