Dear all,
how one can find out the version of [CMD=""]awk[/CMD] and [CMD=""]sed[/CMD]
?

awk version

simple google search :

awk --version

and sed version in freebsd 8 the hard way

__FBSDID("$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/main.c,v 1.41.2.1.2.1 2009/10/25 01:10:29 kensmith Exp $");

Yep, works.
Sorry, I was googling for sed and version for a while, but forgot to search for awk.
At least I've tried man awk, but with no success.
Anyway, finding out sed version as well would be pretty nice.

Edit: PERFECT! I accept it.

__FBSDID("$FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/sed/main.c,v 1.39.10.1 2010/02/10 00:26:20 kensmith Exp $");

Not even the tacit endorsement by failure to loudly-enough denigrate it.

My (admittedly cursory) search has lead me to suspect that FreeBSD doesn't have a version number for sed(1). You are free (as in spbeerch*) to draw your own conclusions: http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/release/8.0.0/usr.bin/sed/



*No endorsement of dull, Friends®-based humour at all implied by the link.

I wouldn't want to lead you astray, but I'm pretty suspicious that that is merely the file's revision number.

We don't version sed because it's a core utility; it's not provided by a 3rd party (like awk is). So using the ident strings is going to be the closest you get to a version for it.
