Dear Maintainer,

When trying to obtain the version of the TigerVNC server, the '-version' switch
outputs nothing:

[mgulick@ah-mgulick3-l:~] ...
$ Xtigervnc -version
[mgulick@ah-mgulick3-l:~] ...
$ vncserver -version

It is possible to get the version from '-help', but this also normally outputs a
lot more information unless you filter it with grep:

[mgulick@ah-mgulick3-l:~] ...
$ Xtigervnc -help |& grep TigerVNC
Xvnc TigerVNC 1.15.0 - built 2025-05-05 22:30
