ROSVERSION(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet rosversion — the rosversion command (the manpage header lowkey spells it "rosverion", typo era, but we move 💅).

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rosversion <stack> | -d

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically, rosversion prints version info for ROS stacks, and it can also tell you the name of the active ROS distribution. it's giving "who am I and what version am I running" energy 👑

here's the vibe: rosversion takes a single ROS stack name as an argument. OR — plot twist — you hand it a -d option with no arguments and it prints the distribution version instead. main character choice, honestly.

and if the version number for a stack is just... not known? it prints <unversioned> instead. no cap, that's literally what it says. 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -d — print the codename for the current ROS distribution. that's it, that's the whole option. iconic minimalism 💅
