PERF-VERSION(1)

✨ PERF-VERSION(1) ✨

okay so real quick — this is a page from the perf manual, bestie. yes, that perf. the Linux performance tool one. we're doing the whole perf-version(1) situation today and it's gonna be so chill, i promise 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

perf-version — display the version of perf binary

like… it tells you which perf you're running. that's the whole vibe. one job, and it slays it 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

perf version [--build-options]

that's it. that's the entire thing. no cap, look how clean that is ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea 🍓 — with no options given, perf version prints the perf version on the standard output. just the version. on stdout. iconic behaviour, honestly.

and if you pass the --build-options option? then the status of compiled-in libraries gets printed on the standard output instead of just the bare version. that's the upgrade. main character energy 💫

ngl the whole page is basically two sentences of lore, and that's fine — she's little but she's powerful.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --build-options — Prints the status of compiled-in libraries on the standard output. use this when you wanna know what got baked into your perf at build time 👑 (lowkey the only option here, and she's carrying the entire OPTIONS section fr fr)

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so, real talk — the original page doesn't list any SEE ALSO references. so there's nothing to point you at here. you get the vibe check and nothing else 😭 (not me double-checking… yeah, it's genuinely empty, bestie)

---

and that's the whole page!! 🧚 go forth and vibe check your perf version, you absolute legend. 💜
