23 I most likely don't fully understand the difference between the
24 two/three commands and I was going by a vague memory from a
25 couple of years back.
26
27 Could someone expound on these 3 commands? I don't really
28 understand the man and info pages on these.
29
30 gcc -v
31 gcc --version
32 (I thought the previous two were the same.)
33 cat /proc/version
34
35 Does one or more show the currently being used gcc and another
36 show a previous version used for some other earlier compile(s)?
37
38 TIA
