Checking compiler and fileset information

You can check the versions of the compiler and individual filesets installed by using the lslpp command, the -qversion compiler option, or by viewing the .vrmf_history file.

Using lslpp

You can view information on the installed filesets by using the lslpp command:

lslpp option_string

where option_string can be:

-L fileset: Displays the version and state of the fileset specified
-f fileset: Displays the files and symbolic links associated with the fileset specified
-w filename: Indicates which fileset the specified file (filename) belongs to

Note: lslpp detects only filesets that have been installed using the SMIT or installp methods.

Using -qversion

To get more details about the version, release, and PTF levels of the compiler, you can use the -qversion compiler option. For more information, see -qversion in the XL C/C++ Compiler Reference.

Viewing the .vrmf_history file

If you have installed XL C/C++ to a non-default location, you can view the version information for each fileset installed by viewing the .vrmf_history text file that is installed in the compiler's main directory.

Note: You must not edit this file because it might cause unexpected behavior of the xlCndi script.
