The [endpoint](00001012920000) `/x` allows you to retrieve some (administrative) data.

Currently, you can only request Zettelstore version data.

    # curl 'http://127.0.0.1:23123/x'
    (0 13 0 "dev" "f781dc384b-dirty")

* Zettelstore conforms somehow to the Standard [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
  The first three digits contain the major, minor, and patch version as described in this standard.
* The first string contains additional information, e.g. &ldquo;dev&rdquo; for a development version, or &ldquo;preview&rdquo; for a preview version.
* The second string contains data to identify the version from a developers perspective.

If any of the three digits has the value -1, its semantic value is unknown.
Similar, the two strings might be empty.
