Meson is a build system designed to optimize the process of building software. It helps in automating build procedures across different platforms, making it easier to manage and build large projects. By executing the "meson --version" command, it will display the version number of the Meson build system installed on your system.

This command is useful to ensure that you have the correct version of Meson installed, especially when working on a project that requires a specific version or when troubleshooting build issues.
