kre e5c13d3e3e Put back getopts - it is easier to get correct than hand rolled code. Add -L and -P flags to allow the library/cmd search paths to be set. Add support for getting vers info from sh, dhcpcd, and userland (/etc/release). Stop abusing "sh -x" to support -v - do it properly. Get rid of the duplicate list of components used when there are no args, instead make better use of sh capabilities to just process everything. Better use of what sh can do for us other places too. Add a (more or less random) set of libraries to include in output when no args are given. OK agc (well, earlier version...)		2017-08-23 01:17:46 +00:00

README

The sys_info script is a small script which will show the version
information for installed utilities.  It also works on the kernel, and
on most libraries.

Its use is as follow:

	[19:41:13] agc@netbsd-002 ...external/bsd/sys_info [4568] > ./sys_info -a
	awk-20121220
	bind-9.10.3pl3
	bzip2-1.0.6
	calendar-20160601
	ftpd-20110904
	g++-4.8.5
	gcc-4.8.5
	grep-2.5.1anb1
	gzip-20150113
	bozohttpd-20151231
	NetBSD-7.99.26
	netpgp-3.99.17
	netpgpverify-20160214
	ntp-4.2.8pl5
	openssl-1.0.1r
	sqlite3-3.12.2
	openssh-7.1
	opensshd-7.1
	tcsh-6.19.00
	xz-5.2.1
	[19:41:20] agc@netbsd-002 ...external/bsd/sys_info [4569] > ./sys_info ntp ssh netpgp
	ntp-4.2.8pl5
	openssh-7.1
	netpgp-3.99.17
	[19:41:31] agc@netbsd-002 ...external/bsd/sys_info [4570] > ./sys_info ntp ssh netbsd
	ntp-4.2.8pl5
	openssh-7.1
	NetBSD-7.99.26
	[19:41:38] agc@netbsd-002 ...external/bsd/sys_info [4571] >

The -a option can be given to the script to print out the information
on all known components.

The sys_info script also works on libraries, returning their
"versions" as given by the shared object version numbers.

	[19:45:06] agc@netbsd-002 ...external/bsd/sys_info [4572] > ./sys_info libevent libXfont libc netbsd
	libevent-4.0
	libXfont-3.0
	libc-12.200
	NetBSD-7.99.26
	[19:45:27] agc@netbsd-002 ...external/bsd/sys_info [4573] >
