hist_version (hist_task)
The task object corresponding to the Cascade Historian. See locate_task in the Gamma manual.
A string containing the version if successful, as:
(version "vm.vn build number">
where "m" is the major version number and "n" is the minor version number. Otherwise returns nil and sets _last_error_ to the error string returned by the Cascade Historian.
This function is similar to using the -V option on the histdb command line at the shell prompt, but it lets you check the version number while the Cascade Historian is running.
This function corresponds to the version command, and the Cogent C API function HI_Version.
