Whichever way I query on the command line…is usually wrong. It Seems like it use to be prog -v or sometimes prog -V then somewhere along the way it changed to prog -version or perhaps prog -Version now often its prog –version or is it prog –Version? In the preceding sentence it’s hard to tell that preceding the option are 2 dashes. Out of edit mode multiple dashes look like one long dash. Oops did I say dash? Evidently to prove your technical ability today, somewhere along the line you now say tack. So prog dash v…total noob, prog tack v…experienced professional! After all isn’t tack much easier to say than dash? Ummm…no! In 50 years will it be prog ————version…many multiple tacks? One things for sure, it’s going to be the last possible variation I try : (
Light bulb moment. I should write a version script [version prog] that tries them all 🙂
