| Summary : Read program version information on Win32
|
Description :
This module only has one function and it exports it by default.
GetFileVersionInfo takes a path as it\'s only argument. If for any reason
that path cannot be read or the file does not contain a version information
resource, then GetFileVersionInfo will return undef. Otherwise it will
return a reference to a hash containing the following:
* FileVersion
Contains a 4-part dot-separated version string (i.e. 4.0.4331.6). In
Windows Explorer, this appears at the top of the Version tab of the
Properties dialog.
* ProductVersion
Contains a 4-part dot-separated version string (i.e. 4.0.4331.6).
* Flags
A hash with an element set to 1 if the flag is set to true or 0 if the flag
set to false. Flags that are unset have no corresponding element (and so
should evaluate to false). Possible flags are:
* Debug
* Prerelease
* Patched
* InfoInferred
* PrivateBuild
* SpecialBuild
* OS
A two part string separated by a slash (e.g. \"NT/Win32\"). The first part
can be one of:
* DOS
* OS/2 16
* OS/2 32
* NT
* WINCE
* Unknown
Note: the WINCE value is not defined in older version of winver.h. If you
compiled the XS against an older header, then what should be WINCE may
instead show up as Unknown. Unknown is a catchall category for anything not
defined in winver.h. For best results use the winver.h from the newest
Platform SDK.
The second part can be one of:
* Win16
* PM16
* PM32
* Win32
* Unknown
PM is the OS/2 Presentation Manager. Unknown is a catchall category for
anything not defined in winver.h.
* Type
Indicates the type of file that contains the Version Information resource.
May be one of:
* Application
* DLL
* One of the following driver types:
* Printer Driver
* Keyboard Driver
* Language Driver
* Display Driver
* Mouse Driver
* Network Driver
* System Driver
* Installable Driver
* Sound Driver
* Communications Driver
* Input Method Driver
* Versioned Printer Driver
* Unknown Driver
* One of the following font types:
* Raster Font
* Vector Font
* TrueType Font
* Unknown Font
* Virtual Device Driver
* Static Library
* Unknown
Note that \"Versioned Printer Driver\" is not defined in older versions of
winver.h. See the note for WINCE above. The Unknowns are catchall
categories for anything not defined in winver.h.
* Date
A 64-bit hex string. I\'ve never seen this set to anything but 0. It\'s not
well documented in the SDK.
* Raw
This contains all of the above as raw hex strings. It\'s here if you want to
do something unusual, and for debugging purposes. See the code and the
Platform SDK documentation for more info.
* Lang
This contains the language-dependant variable part. It is a hash with an
entry for each language-encoding pair in the Version Information resource.
Each language entry is also a hash that may contain any or all of the
following as strings (presumably UTF-8, but the SDK is not specific on this
point):
* Comments
* CompanyName
* FileDescription
* FileVersion
* InternalName
* Copyright
* Trademarks
* OriginalFilename
* ProductName
* ProductVersion
* PrivateBuild
* SpecialBuild
These are the bulk of what appears in the Version tab in Windows Explorer.
Note that the values of FileVersion and ProductVersion here are strings,
where above they were stringified representations of 64-bit unsigned
integers.
Usually only one language will appear, and usually that will be \"English
(United States)\".
Realistically, almost nothing ever uses this information, and the only
thing that writes it is the linker that created the PE file in the first
place. The only reason you\'d want this information is if you\'re terminally
curious or you\'re writing an installer. Guess which I was?
