### get-tarball-version

The `get-tarball-version` gets the version number from tar-ball name. The tar-ball name must be "name-X.Y.Z.tar.gz(or tar.bz2, .tgz)".

### synopsis

    	get-tarball-version [options] tarball-file

If the option `-major' given, the major version number is printed to standard output. The `-minor' option prints minor version number. The `-micro' option prints micro version number. The `-name' option prints the package name (which does not include version number) instead of versions. if no options are given, all version (such as X.Y.Z) is printed.

### bug

The naming rule for tarball file is limited.
