uptime: Show version information.
$ uptime --version

The command uptime --version is used to display the version information of the uptime command.

The uptime command is commonly used in Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux) to show how long the system has been running, as well as some additional information like the current time, the number of logged-in users, and the system load averages.

By adding the --version option, you are requesting the version information of the uptime command itself. This typically includes details such as the version number, release date, and copyright information. This can be useful to verify which version of the command you have installed or to confirm compatibility with certain features or options.
