borg version
************

   borg [common options] version [options] [REPOSITORY]


Description
===========

This command displays the Borg client version / Borg server version.

If a local repository is given, the client code directly accesses the
repository, thus we show the client version also as the server
version.

If a remote repository is given (e.g., ssh:), the remote Borg is
queried and its version is displayed as the server version.

Examples:

   # local repo (client uses 1.4.0 alpha version)
   $ borg version /mnt/backup
   1.4.0a / 1.4.0a

   # remote repo (client uses 1.4.0 alpha, server uses 1.2.7 release)
   $ borg version ssh://borg@borgbackup:repo
   1.4.0a / 1.2.7

Due to the version tuple format used in Borg client/server
negotiation, only a simplified version is displayed (as provided by
"borg.version.format_version").

There is also "borg --version" to display a potentially more precise
client version.
