Thanks, it looks nice. I think you just need to update the man page docs/man/kmscon.1.xml.in accordingly. |

Add a new --version option (with short form -V) to display version information. The version is extracted from git describe via the existing shl_git_head mechanism. When combined with --verbose/-v, additional build information is shown: - Compilation date and time - Enabled build options (DRM 2D/3D, FBDEV, Pango support) This provides users with an easy way to verify the installed version and build configuration.

Add documentation for the --version/-V command-line option in the kmscon manual page. The documentation explains that this option displays version information and, when combined with --verbose, shows additional build information. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <[email protected]>
