This program requires no command line arguments; the user simply types g.version on the command line to see the version number and date of the GRASS GIS software currently being run by the user.
Information about GRASS GIS core GIS Library can be printed by -r flag.
Version numbers of additional libraries like PROJ, GDAL/OGR or GEOS are printed by -e flag.

Note: if revision=exported
is reported instead of the git hash then
the git
program was not available during compilation of GRASS GIS and
the source code did not contain the .git/
subdirectory (requires e.g.
to git clone
the GRASS GIS software
repository.)
