Windows2000 The secret Weapon file version view tool

In the Windows2000 Professional version of the support tools, there are a lot of information is a tool for the query. Filever.exe is one of them, which is a command-line based tool for viewing file versions. The scope that it can view includes the local computer and the remote computer. You can view individual files and view directory structure information. The main types of files that can be viewed are executable files (. EXE) and dynamic Connection library files (. DLL).

Detailed syntax to use:

Command parameter drive path file name

Filever [/s] [/v] [/e] [/x] [/b] [/a] [/d] [[drive:] [path] [filename]]

The meaning of the parameter:

/s

Displays the files in the specified directory and all subdirectories under that directory.

/V

Lists all available version information for the file.

/e

Lists only the information for the executable file.

/x

For file names that are not in the 8.3 format (mainly long file names), they are displayed in short file names.

/b

Use the bare format (that is, the list of directories that do not display the file, only the file name is displayed).

/A

Specifies the file attributes that are not displayed.

/d

Specifies that the date and time properties of the file are not displayed.

Actual Validation Report:

This tool can only run in the state of the command line. Requires that the Windows2000 command console be opened in advance: Cmd.exe. This has been introduced before. You can display the corresponding information by entering the corresponding command in the prompt cursor in the Cmd.exe window. (Programming Entry Network)
