+  <b>Version Files</b>.
+  The NuttX build expects to find a version file located in the top-level NuttX build directory.
+  That version file is called <code>.version</code>.
+  The correct version file is installed in each versioned NuttX released.
+  However, if you are working from an SVN snapshot, then there will be no version file.
+  If there is no version file, the top-level <code>Makefile</code> will create a dummy <code>.version</code> file on the first make.
+  This dummy version file will contain all zeroes for version information.
+  If that is not what you want, they you should run the <code>version.sh</code> script to create a better <code>.version</code> file.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  You can get help information from the <code>version.sh</code> script using the <code>-h</code> option.
+  For example:
+</p>
+<ul><pre>
+$ tools/version.sh -h
+tools/version.sh is a tool for generation of proper version files for the NuttX build
+
+USAGE: tools/version.sh [-d|-h] [-b build] -v &lt;major.minor&gt; &lt;outfile-path&gt;
+
+Where:
+        -d
+                Enable script debug
+        -h
+                show this help message and exit
+        -v &lt;major.minor&gt;
+                The NuttX version number expressed a major and minor number separated
+                by a period
+        &lt;outfile-path&gt;
+                The full path to the version file to be created
+</pre></ul>
+
+<p>
+  As an example, the following command will generate a version file for version 6.1 using the current SVN revision number:
+</p>
+<ul><pre>
+tools/version.h -v 6.1 .version
+</pre></ul>
+
+<p>
+  The <code>.version</code> file is also used during the build process to create a C header file at <code>include/nuttx/version.h</code> that contains the same version information.
+  That version file may be used by your C applications for, as an example, reporting version information.
