Extended Description¶

runtime.get-version keeps one docs page even if the preferred callable name changes over time. The generated API truth shows the current symbol, while older names remain documented here as compatibility guidance.

Examples¶

This example shows the multi-value form used in modern EdgeTX releases such as 2.4.0:

local function run(event)
  local ver, radio, maj, minor, rev, osname = getVersion()
  print("version: "..ver)
  if radio then print("radio: "..radio) end
  if maj then print("maj: "..maj) end
  if minor then print("minor: "..minor) end
  if rev then print("rev: "..rev) end
  if osname then print("osname: "..osname) end
  return 1
end

return { run=run }

Output of the above script in simulator:

version: 2.4.0
radio: tx16s-simu
maj: 2
minor: 4
rev: 0
osname: EdgeTX

Compatibility Notes¶

Keep the preferred callable name in generated API metadata and use this page for return-shape clarification and examples.
