4 | .SH NAME |
---|
5 | xversion \- determine which version of X is running |
---|
6 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
---|
7 | .B xversion |
---|
8 | [ -r ] |
---|
9 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
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'. |
---|
20 | .PP |
---|
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". |
---|
29 | .PP |
---|
30 | .I xversion |
---|
31 | is intended principally as a tool to be used within shell scripts, |
---|
32 | such as |
---|
33 | .I xswitch. |
---|
34 | .SH BUGS |
---|
35 | The display name is hard-coded as 'unix:0'; i.e. the value of the |
---|
36 | DISPLAY environment variable is ignored. |
---|
37 | .PP |
---|
38 | The output of the minor protocol revision number is only supported if |
---|
39 | the current server is X11. If an X10 server is currently running, only |
---|
40 | the major protocol revision number is printed. |
