versionInfo = GetVersion(name,firstTag, ...);
struct VersionInfo *GetVersion(STRPTR, Tag, ...);

FUNCTION
This function attempt to find version information on a given named
object. The object can be a module in ROM, memory-resident library or device, a disk-based file.
INPUTS
- name
-
the NULL-terminated name of the object to get version information on. This may be a simple name, or a full AmigaDOS path. Passing NULL here indicates you wish to obtain the version and revision of the current Workbench disk.
- tagList
-
pointer to an array of tags providing optional extra parameters, or NULL
TAGS
- GV_Kickstart (BOOL)
-
Setting this tag to TRUE causes the version of the current Kickstart ROM to be returned. The name parameter is ignored in such a case. Default for this tag is FALSE. (V40)
- GV_Location (ULONG)
-
This tag defines places where this function is to look for "name". See the VILOCF_XXX constants in <libraries/version.h> for the possible values. Default for this tag is 0xfffffff which means to accept all possible sources. (V40)
RESULT
- versionInfo
-
a pointer to a filled-in VersionInfo structure, or NULL if no memory could be allocated for the structure. Also check the vi_Flags field to see the status of the operation.
