The ifx_getversion utility (UNIX)

To obtain the complete version name of the HCL Informix® library, use the ifx_getversion utility.

Before you run ifx_getversion, set the INFORMIXDIR environment variable to the directory in which your HCL Informix product is installed.

The ifx_getversion utility has the following syntax.


>>-ifx_getversion--+-libgen.xx--+------------------------------><
                   +-libthgen.x-+   
                   +-libos.xx---+   
                   +-libthos.x--+   
                   +-libsql.xx--+   
                   +-libthsql.x-+   
                   +-libgls.xx--+   
                   '-libasf.xx--'

Element	Purpose	Key considerations
`xx`	For static libraries, `xx` specifies the .a file extension; for shared libraries, `xx` specifies the platform-specific file extension.	For shared libraries, the Sun platform uses the .so file extension and the Hewlett-Packard (HP) platform uses the .sl file extension.

The following example shows an example of output that the ifx_getversion utility generates for the libgen Informix library:

IBM/Informix-Client SDK Version 3.00.UN191
IBM/Informix LIBGEN LIBRARY Version 3.00.UN191

Output of ifx_getversion depends on the version of Informix ESQL/C software that is installed on your system.
