This information is already in the library. Use the `ident' command:
The library:
spl> ident /usr/local/lib/libforms.a
/usr/local/lib/libforms.a:
$State: Beta $
$Revision: 0.86 $
$Date: 1997/03/22 06:04:08 $
A random XForms application:
spl> ident /usr/local/bin/maildir
/usr/local/bin/maildir:
$State: Beta $
$Revision: 0.70 $
$Date: 1995/05/17 22:28:08 $
$Id: libspl.c,v 1.1 1995/01/31 02:08:14 spl Exp $
Yikes! Is that thing *really* that old -- I guess I'd better rebuild
it!
spl
