how to tell the version number of dash?

I have a dash shell installed as /bin/dash. I checked the manual of dash, which is the same as the POSIX shell manual, and there is nothing there to tell the version of the shell.

dash --version

does not work.

How to tell the version number of dash I have??

Added: some people are pointing me to Ubuntu commands, well, no I am not running Ubuntu, I am running Centos.

Solution

  • On systems like Centos that use rpm:

    rpm -q dash
