.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This program is part of the
\fBDACS\fR
suite\&.
.PP
The
\fBdacs_version\fR
web service displays version information about
\fBDACS\fR
and other third\-party packages that have been compiled into
\fBDACS\fR\&.
.PP
The
\fIFORMAT\fR
argument (see
\m[blue]\fBdacs\&.services(8)\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[2]\d\s+2) determines the type of output, with the default being HTML, using the style sheet
\m[blue]\fBdacs_version\&.css\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[3]\d\s+2\&. If XML output is selected, a document conforming to
\m[blue]\fBdacs_version\&.dtd\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[4]\d\s+2
is returned\&.
JSON
(\m[blue]\fBRFC 7159\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[5]\d\s+2) is also supported\&.

Because installation and build details that are displayed could be taken advantage of by an attacker, the default
\fBDACS\fR
ACL restricts use of this web service to a DACS administrator\&.

This program is also available as a

\m[blue]\fBdacsversion(1)\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[6]\d\s+2\&. Because
\m[blue]\fBdacs_admin(8)\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[7]\d\s+2
provides the same functionality and more,
\fBdacs_version\fR
may be removed in a future release\&.
