DESCRIPTION

       g.version  prints  to  standard output the GRASS version number, date, the GRASS GIS copyright (-c flag),
       and GRASS build information (-b flag).

NOTES

       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.

       See also function version() from Python Scripting Library.
       import grass.script as gcore
       print gcore.version()

       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.)
