BuildDetails()

Description

The BuildDetails function returns a table with key-value pairs about the software build.

Arguments

This function does not accept any arguments.

Return

• Build details:
  This is the table with key-value pairs. These are the possible keys in the table:

  • GitDate: String with the date for the repository branch of the software.
  • GitHead: String with the branch of the repository.
  • GitHash: String with the hash for the repository.
  • CompileDate: String with the date for the compile.
  • CompileTime: String with the time for the compile.
  • BigVersion: String indicating the software version.
  • SmallVersion: String with the small version number of the software. Devices that only listen to a DMX data stream need to have this version to “understand” the streaming data.
  • HostType: String with the host type, for instance, “Console” or “onPC”.
  • HostSubType: String with the host sub-type, for instance, “FullSize” or “Light”.
  • CodeType: String showing the type of code, for instance, “Release”.
  • IsRelease: Boolean indicating if the software is a release version.

Example

This example prints the content of the BuildDetails table:

Copy CodeLua
```
return function()

--Store the build detials table
local myBuild = BuildDetails()
--Print the content of the table
Printf("GitDate: " .. myBuild.GitDate)
Printf("GitHead: " .. myBuild.GitHead)
Printf("GitHash: " .. myBuild.GitHash)
Printf("CompileDate: " .. myBuild.CompileDate)
Printf("CompileTime: " .. myBuild.CompileTime)
Printf("BigVersion: " .. myBuild.BigVersion)
Printf("SmallVersion: " .. myBuild.SmallVersion)
Printf("HostType: " .. myBuild.HostType)
Printf("HostSubType: " .. myBuild.HostSubType)
Printf("CodeType: " .. myBuild.CodeType)
Printf("IsRelease: " .. tostring(myBuild.IsRelease))

end
