.SH NAME
borg-version \- Display the borg client / borg server version
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
borg [common options] version [options] [REPOSITORY]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
This command displays the borg client version / borg server version.
.sp
If a local repo is given, the client code directly accesses the repository,
thus we show the client version also as the server version.
.sp
If a remote repo is given (e.g. ssh:), the remote borg is queried and
its version is displayed as the server version.
.sp
Examples:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
# local repo (client uses 1.4.0 alpha version)
$ borg version /mnt/backup
1.4.0a / 1.4.0a

# remote repo (client uses 1.4.0 alpha, server uses 1.2.7 release)
$ borg version ssh://borg@borgbackup:repo
1.4.0a / 1.2.7
.ft P

.sp
Due to the version tuple format used in borg client/server negotiation, only
a simplified version is displayed (as provided by borg.version.format_version).
.sp
There is also borg \-\-version to display a potentially more precise client version.
.SH OPTIONS
.sp
See \fIborg\-common(1)\fP for common options of Borg commands.
