The command "pio --version" is used to check the version of the PlatformIO CLI (Command Line Interface) tool.
PlatformIO is an open-source ecosystem for embedded development, which provides a unified, cross-platform development platform for different embedded systems, including microcontrollers, microprocessors, and other IoT (Internet of Things) devices. It supports various development platforms, frameworks, and libraries.
By executing the "pio --version" command in the command-line interface or terminal, you can obtain information about the installed version of the PlatformIO CLI tool. This can be helpful when checking for updates, verifying compatibility with other tools or platforms, or troubleshooting any issues related to the PlatformIO CLI tool itself.
The output of the command will display the version number of the PlatformIO CLI.
