-  <para>
-   This command shows the version of the currently active NixOS configuration.
-   For example:
-<screen><prompt>$ </prompt>nixos-version
-16.03.1011.6317da4 (Emu)
-</screen>
-   The version consists of the following elements:
-   <variablelist>
-    <varlistentry>
-     <term>
-      <literal>16.03</literal>
-     </term>
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       The NixOS release, indicating the year and month in which it was
-       released (e.g. March 2016).
-      </para>
-     </listitem>

-    <varlistentry>
-     <term>
-      <literal>1011</literal>
-     </term>
-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       The number of commits in the Nixpkgs Git repository between the start of
-       the release branch and the commit from which this version was built.
-       This ensures that NixOS versions are monotonically increasing. It is
-       <literal>git</literal> when the current NixOS configuration was built
-       from a checkout of the Nixpkgs Git repository rather than from a NixOS
-       channel.

-     <listitem>
-      <para>
-       The code name of the NixOS release. The first letter of the code name
-       indicates that this is the N'th stable NixOS release; for example, Emu
-       is the fifth release.
