Specifying [ID] keys
The
[ID]
section contains information that identifies the product. Descriptions
of its various keys follow.
Version
The
Version
key specifies the version of the product. A valid version string is
defined:
•
The separator character is a (
.
) period.
•
An empty string is valid (but usually not very useful).
•
A separator is invalid if it occurs at the start, at the end, or two in a row.
•
Non-separator characters should be lowercase and in the 0..9 and a..z
ranges.
•
In any field, alpha characters should follow numeric characters. For
example, 4.567a.56b.789cdf is valid, but 67a45.67d.56h. is invalid because
"67a45" contains numeric characters after the alpha characters.
•
The numeric part of any field must fit in a 32-bit integer.
Examples of valid strings:
1.67a 465758.567abcdefgh.466.4.4.5a 1.34b.1
Examples of invalid strings:
1.a5 1.5A 1.-3 1.999999999999999999999999
