NAME

       dacs_version - display DACS version information

SYNOPSIS

       dacs_version [dacsoptions[1]]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of the DACS suite.

       The dacs_version web service displays version information about DACS and other third-party
       packages that have been compiled into DACS.

       The FORMAT argument (see dacs.services(8)[2]) determines the type of output, with the
       default being HTML, using the style sheet dacs_version.css[3]. If XML output is selected,
       a document conforming to dacs_version.dtd[4] is returned.  JSON (RFC 7159[5]) is also
       supported.

           Security
           Because installation and build details that are displayed could be taken advantage of
           by an attacker, the default DACS ACL restricts use of this web service to a DACS
           administrator.

           Note
           This program is also available as a DACS utility, dacsversion(1)[6]. Because
           dacs_admin(8)[7] provides the same functionality and more, dacs_version may be removed
           in a future release.

OPTIONS

   Web Service Arguments
       The standard CGI arguments[8] are understood.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The program exits 0 if everything was fine, 1 if an error occurred.
