# filetrace version: version, build and platform information

> Reference for filetrace version: the version, platform, kernel, backend, compiler, build type and commit of the command, and whether the agent is running.

`filetrace version` prints the version of the command, how it was built, the platform it runs on, and whether an agent is serving the socket. `filetrace --version` prints the same.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
filetrace version
```

## What it shows

```bash theme={null}
filetrace version
```

```text theme={null}
Filetrace 26.11.1.147

Platform:       Linux aarch64
Kernel:         7.0.14-linuxkit
Backend:        Linux eBPF
Compiler:       Clang 19.1.7
Build:          Release
Commit:         281c5aee6aaa
Agent:          Running
```

| Line | Meaning |
| - | - |
| First line | The version of the command. [Versions and release channels](https://filetrace.mintlify.site/reference/versioning.md) explains the numbering. |
| Platform | The operating system and the architecture |
| Kernel | The kernel release |
| Backend | The collection backend this build contains |
| Compiler | The compiler and its version |
| Build | The build type, such as `Release` |
| Commit | The source commit the build was made from |
| Agent | `Running`, `Running (socket not accessible)` when the agent runs but your user cannot open its socket, or `Not running` |

`version` does not need the agent or root. The agent prints its own version with `filetrace-agent --version`. Upgrade the command and the agent together: they speak one protocol version, and a command that reaches an agent of another protocol version reports it.

## Options

`version` takes no options.

## Exit codes

| Code | Meaning |
| - | - |
| 0 | Success, whether or not the agent is running |
| 2 | Invalid arguments |
| 6 | The configuration file cannot be read or is invalid |
