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.
The relevance language is based upon a comprehensive set of primitive objects. These primitives are the basic building blocks of the more complex objects to follow. The Core Inspector Guide documents the bulk of the primitive object inspectors. Where a specialized platform-specific method exists to create, inspect, or manipulate primitive objects, they will be documented in the respective Inspector guide.
