Provide build-time information.

The entry points in this module are version and Statically_linked_libraries.to_list.

Implementation note: this module is implemented using special support from Dune. When an executable is linked, a special "blank" placeholder is stored as a string. A special post-link phase called artifact substitution can replace this placeholder with encoded data that will be decoded by this library.

Artifact substitution happens when an executable is installed or promoted to the source tree.

module Version : sig ... end

val version : unit -> Version.t option

The version is None during development, it is only Some _ once artifact substitution happened.

module Statically_linked_library : sig ... end

module Statically_linked_libraries : sig ... end
