It outputs values as follows: - -* < 0 : if ver1 < ver2 -* = 0 : if ver1 == ver2 -* > 0 : if ver1 > ver2 - -Version comparison operates as follows: - - Alphanumeric: - 1.0a < 1.0b < 1.0beta < 1.0p < 1.0pre < 1.0rc < 1.0 < 1.0.a < 1.0.1 - Numeric: - 1 < 1.0 < 1.1 < 1.1.1 < 1.2 < 2.0 < 3.0.0 - -Additionally, version strings can have an 'epoch' value defined that will -overrule any version comparison, unless the epoch values are equal. This is -specified in an `epoch:version-rel` format. For example, `2:1.0-1` is always -greater than `1:3.6-1`. - -Keep in mind that the 'pkgrel' is only compared if it is available on both -versions given to this tool. For example, comparing `1.5-1` and `1.5` will -yield 0; comparing `1.5-1` and `1.5-2` will yield < 0 as expected. This is -mainly for supporting versioned dependencies that do not include the 'pkgrel'. - - -Options -------- -*-h, \--help*:: - - Display summary of the available return codes.
