Print out the version of nutmeg that is running. If there are
arguments, it checks to make sure that the arguments match the current
version of NGSPICE. (This is mainly used as a Command: line in rawfiles.)
Print out the version of @emph{nutmeg} that is running, if invoked without argument
or with @code{-s} or @code{-f}. If the argument is a @code{<version id>} (any string different
from @code{-s} or @code{-f} is considered a @code{<version id>} ), the command checks to make
sure that the arguments match the current version of NGSPICE.
(This is mainly used as a @code{Command:} line in rawfiles.)
@emph{Options description}
@itemize @bullet
@item No option: The output of the command is the message you can see when running NGSPICE
from the command line, no more no less.
@item @code{-s}(hort): A shorter version of the message you see when calling NGSPICE from the
command line.
@item @code{-f}(ull): You may want to use this option if you want to know what extensions
are included into the simulator and what compilation switches are
active. A list of compilation options and included extensions is
appended to the normal (not short) message. May be useful when sending
bug reports.

The following example shows what the command returns is some situations:
