The command "sw_vers -buildVersion" is used to display the build version of the operating system on macOS or OS X.
When executed in the terminal, the "sw_vers" command is followed by the option "-buildVersion", which specifies that we want to obtain the build version information.
The build version refers to a unique identifier given to different releases or updates of the operating system. It is essentially a code that distinguishes one version of macOS or OS X from another, even if they have the same name or release number.
By running this command, you will obtain the specific build version of the macOS or OS X currently installed on your system, which can be useful for troubleshooting, compatibility checking, or verifying the system's update history.
