I'm sure this is an easy answer, but I'm not finding it anywhere.

How do you check the version of a program in linux? For instance, I want to check what version of xine-lib I have installed. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks.

mythtv@mythtv:~$ locate version

I am not at my box right now, but check to see what you have in

Code:

/usr/local/bin/xine-config

Typically by calling the program with a flag, such as

Code:

<program name> --version
<program name> -v

The flag varies from program to program, you can usually find out what flags are available with

Code:

<program name> --help
