swipl: Print the version.
$ swipl --version
try on your machine

The command "swipl --version" is used to display the version of SWI-Prolog installed on your system. SWI-Prolog is a free and open-source Prolog implementation, which is a widely used logic programming language.

When you enter "swipl --version" in a terminal or command prompt, the system executes the "swipl" command, followed by the "--version" option. This triggers the SWI-Prolog interpreter to display information about the version currently installed on your system.

The output of the command will typically include the version number of SWI-Prolog and additional details such as the build date, the git commit hash, and other relevant information.
