valac: Display version info.

valac

$ valac --version

try on your machine

The command "valac --version" is used to display the version of the Vala compiler installed on your system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"valac" is the executable file for the Vala compiler. Vala is a programming language that is designed to bring modern language features to the GObject system library, which is used extensively in GNOME application development.
"--version" is a command-line option that is provided by many software programs to display the version information. When you use this option with "valac", it will print the version number of the Vala compiler to the terminal.

By running this command, you can quickly determine the version of Vala that is installed on your machine, which can be useful for troubleshooting or compatibility checks with different Vala projects or libraries.
