Hello,

My question is pretty simple. I would like to know how can I know the
version number of a library file. Is the version number in the library
file itself?

I'm always sure there is a tool for that purpose.

Im not sure if it is what you asked for, but in OS9, one can set the
folder view to "list", then select folder options and click the
"version" radio button. If the file has a version, that should show it.

For OSX, I have no clue.

For frameworks there should be a version in Get Info. For libraries, I
don't think there's a general way, but "strings theLibrary" might
provide something useful.

I don't think so. You can put a version number in the Info.plist, but
I have never seen the Finder display a framework version number.

I'm sure I have... *poke, poke* Ahh well, that's just me hallucinating
again, then. Move along, nothing to see here, &c.

Oh, I did find a place where you can see the version number. If a
framework is installed publicly (in /System/Library/Frameworks,
/Library/Frameworks, or ~/Library/Frameworks), then System Profiler
will show the version number.
