DESCRIPTION
     sswwvveerrss prints version information about the Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server
     operating system running on the local machine.

     When executed with no options sswwvveerrss prints a short list of version
     properties:

           % swvers
           ProductName:    Mac OS X
           ProductVersion: 10.3
           BuildVersion:   7A100

     The ProductName property provides the name of the operating system
     release (typically either "Mac OS X" or "Mac OS X Server").  The
     ProductVersion property defines the version of the operating system
     release (for example, "10.2.4" or "10.3").  The BuildVersion property
     provides the specific revision of the operating system as generated by
     the Mac OS X build system.
