Module build 

The build behind this Sioul (docs/building.md, “Which build”): its version and the commit it was built from, said in sioul --version, in Settings, in this device’s entry among your devices and in its records, so that what each device wrote can be traced to the code that wrote it.

Constants

COMMIT

The commit, as the build found it (build.rs): twelve characters of its hash (“eff8661abcde”), “-dirty” after them when the tree held changes not committed; SIOUL_COMMIT’s value where the repository was not there; “unknown”.

DESCRIBED

Both, as said everywhere: “0.0.3 (eff8661abcde)”.

VERSION

The version, as Cargo.toml says it: “0.0.3”.

Functions

described

A build as an entry or a record says it, in words: “0.0.3 (eff8661abcde)”; the version alone when the commit is unsaid (an older Sioul); “” when neither is.

older

Whether version comes before than, number by number (“0.0.2” before “0.0.10”); neither when either does not read as numbers (nothing said).
