[Question] does the VirtualGL executable have a version flag/switch?

[MatzFan]

vglrun -v and vglrun --version seem to be missing from the help options, am I looking in the wrong place?

My installation is on Linux Bookworm, from your apt repo. Awesome software btw.

No, but that would be easy to implement, since vglrun is generated by CMake.

I just added a --version switch to vglrun. For completeness, I should also note that there are some existing, less obvious, ways to obtain the VirtualGL Faker version without using the new vglrun switch:

• /opt/VirtualGL/bin/vglclient -v (assuming the client is also installed)
• /opt/VirtualGL/bin/glreadtest -?
• vglrun +v /opt/VirtualGL/bin/glxinfo 2>&1 | grep 'VirtualGL v' (this is the actual Faker version, as reported by the Faker itself)

[dcommander]

Another note: vglrun -v* is already reserved for disabling verbose mode, so vglrun -v or vglrun -version will not display the version information. You have to use two dashes, i.e. vglrun --version.
