Arguments: &optional type main-only
This function was added in Allegro CL RPC release 3.2.2. It is not defined in earlier Allegro CL RPC versions. Allegro CL RPC release 3.2.2 was released as a patch to Allegro CL 6.2 in September, 2002. Call update-allegro if you wish to download that patch.
This function returns a value that represents the version of Allegro
CL RPC in the current Allegro CL image. The type
argument is a keyword that determines the type and format of the
returned value. If the main-only argument is
non-nil, the value returned describes only
the main version number of the module. It should be possible for two
Allegro CL images with different versions to communicate as long as
the main version number in both is the same.
The following table show what is returned for various values of
type and main-only. Both
arguments default to nil.
| Value of type | Value returned when main-only is nil | Value returned when main-only is non-nil |
:string |
"3.2.2" | "3" |
:pretty |
"ACL RPC Version 3.2.2" | "ACL RPC Version 3" |
:num |
30202 | 3 |
| [omitted or nil or any other value] | (3 2 2) | 3 |
