The version (e.g. Lin:8.1) corresponds to the version of the IEM product (8.1) in which the inspector was introduced in the client on that platform.
The version number is not shown if it is less than 8.0.
This chapter covers the keywords for extracting information from the file system, like files, drives, pathnames, folders, etc. It also includes the keywords needed to identify and compare version information of files and patches.For more information on special Windows folders, see the Resources section at the end of this guide.
