<h2>Synopsis</h2>
<p>
<code class="literal">svnversion [OPTIONS] [WC_PATH [TRAIL_URL]]</code>
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Description">
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.re.desc"></a>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p><span class="command"><strong>svnversion</strong></span> is a program for
summarizing the revision mixture of a working copy. The
resultant revision number, or revision range, is written to
standard output.</p>
<p>It's common to use this output in your build process
when defining the version number of your program.</p>
<p><em class="replaceable"><code>TRAIL_URL</code></em>, if present, is the
trailing portion of the URL used to determine whether
<em class="replaceable"><code>WC_PATH</code></em> itself is switched
(detection of switches within
<em class="replaceable"><code>WC_PATH</code></em> does not rely on
<em class="replaceable"><code>TRAIL_URL</code></em>).</p>
<p>When <em class="replaceable"><code>WC_PATH</code></em> is not defined,
the current directory will be used as the working copy path.
<em class="replaceable"><code>TRAIL_URL</code></em> cannot be defined if
<em class="replaceable"><code>WC_PATH</code></em> is not explicitly
given.</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Options">
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.re.sw"></a>
<h2>Options</h2>
<p>Like <span class="command"><strong>svnserve</strong></span>,
<span class="command"><strong>svnversion</strong></span> has no subcommands—only
options:</p>
<div class="variablelist">
<dl>
<dt>
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.sw.no_newline"></a>
<span class="term"><code class="option">--no-newline</code> (<code class="option">-n</code>)</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Omits the usual trailing newline from the output.</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.sw.committed"></a>
<span class="term"><code class="option">--committed</code> (<code class="option">-c</code>)</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Uses the last-changed revisions rather than the
current (i.e., highest locally available) revisions.</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.sw.help"></a>
<span class="term"><code class="option">--help</code> (<code class="option">-h</code>)</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Prints a help summary.</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.sw.quiet"></a>
<span class="term"><code class="option">--quiet</code> (<code class="option">-q</code>)</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Requests that the program print only essential
information while performing an operation.</p>
</dd>
<dt>
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.sw.version"></a>
<span class="term">
<code class="option">--version</code>
</span>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>Prints the version of <span class="command"><strong>svnversion</strong></span>
and exit with no error.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Examples">
<a id="svn.ref.svnversion.re.examples"></a>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>If the working copy is all at the same revision (e.g.,
immediately after an update), then that revision is
printed out:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnversion
4168
</pre>
</div>
<p>You can add <em class="replaceable"><code>TRAIL_URL</code></em> to make
sure the working copy is not switched from what you
expect. Note that the <em class="replaceable"><code>WC_PATH</code></em>
is required in this command:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnversion . /var/svn/trunk
4168
</pre>
</div>
<p>For a mixed-revision working copy, the range of
revisions present is printed:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnversion
4123:4168
</pre>
</div>
<p>If the working copy contains modifications, a trailing
'<code class="literal">M</code>' is added:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnversion
4168M
</pre>
</div>
<p>If the working copy is switched, a trailing
'<code class="literal">S</code>' is added:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnversion
4168S
</pre>
</div>
<p><span class="command"><strong>svnversion</strong></span> will also inform you if
the target working copy is sparsely populated (see
<a class="xref" href="svn.advanced.sparsedirs.html" title="Sparse Directories">the section called “Sparse Directories”</a>) by attaching the
'<code class="literal">P</code>' code to its output:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnversion
4168P
</pre>
</div>
<p>Thus, here is a mixed-revision, sparsely populated and
switched working copy containing some local
modifications:</p>
<div class="informalexample">
<pre class="screen">
$ svnversion
4123:4168MSP
</pre>
</div>
</div>
