Checking compiler and fileset information

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

Using lslpp

You can view information about 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 --version

To get more details about the version, release, and fix pack levels of the compiler, you can use the --version compiler option. For example:

/opt/IBM/RustSDK/1.96/bin/rustc --version

Viewing the .vrmf_history file

If you have installed IBM Open SDK for Rust on AIX 1.96 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 main directory of the compiler.

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