xcrun: Display version.
$ xcrun --version
try on your machine

The command "xcrun --version" is used to display the version of the Xcode Command Line Tools on macOS.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "xcrun" is a command line utility in macOS that allows you to locate or run tools and executables within the Xcode developer toolchain.
  • "--version" is an option or flag that is passed to the "xcrun" command to specify that we want to display the version information.

When you run the "xcrun --version" command in the terminal, it will output the version of the Xcode Command Line Tools installed on your system. This can be useful to verify the current version or to determine if you have the necessary tools installed for certain development tasks.
