.. _VERSION_MAIN:

Version
=======

The ``wscript`` of this project retrieves the current version (if available)
from version control and generates during compilation of the project a
``version.c/h`` file containing information about the current version.

In order to be able to find the version easily in any |foxbms| binary, the
linker script places this information always at the same location in memory.
It uses the linker section ``VER_VERSION_INFORMATION`` (for details see
:ref:`LINKER_SCRIPT`).
