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.
