Version output

Basic version output

Run:

pixelflow version

This prints current PixelFlow version string.

Verbose version output

Run:

pixelflow version --verbose

Current verbose output includes:

  • PixelFlow core version,
  • enabled feature summary,
  • plugin ABI version,
  • loaded compiled plugin list, and
  • loaded script plugin filter list.

The enabled feature summary includes tracing when the binary was built with the tracing Cargo feature.

--loglevel LEVEL, --logfile PATH, and --trace FILE may be supplied before the version subcommand. --trace FILE is most useful with version --verbose, which initializes runtime plugin discovery and script plugin discovery before printing the plugin list. Discovery uses conventional platform plugin directories unless PF_PLUGIN_DIRS is set, in which case the env path list replaces the conventional list.

version --verbose validates script plugin namespaces and filter definitions during discovery. Namespace or symbol collisions fail the command. Malformed script plugin files that do not collide are skipped with warning diagnostics through the configured logger.

If no compiled plugins or script plugin filters load, verbose output prints plugins: none.
