version

whzbox version prints the build metadata embedded in the current binary.

Syntax

whzbox version
whzbox --version

Arguments

This command takes no positional arguments.

Flags

This command uses only the global flags.

Behavior

  • Prints the version string assembled from the embedded Version, Commit, and BuildTime values.
  • Uses a lightweight app path that does not initialize the state store or network adapters.
  • Binaries built directly from source without linker flags report the fallback values dev, none, and unknown.
  • GoReleaser snapshot builds embed v0.0.0-dev plus the current commit and build timestamp.
  • Tagged GoReleaser release builds embed the Git tag version plus the corresponding commit and build timestamp.

Output

The output format is:

whzbox <version> (<commit>) built <build-time>

When the binary is built without linker flags, the default values are:

  • version: dev
  • commit: none
  • build time: unknown

Exit behavior

  • 0 on success
  • 1 on generic command failure
