How can one find the version of the javadoc executable?

I would have thought that the javadoc executable would offer a -v or --version option that would print out the version of the executable. Most executables seem to offer this. For example, GNU make lets you type gmake --version. Even javac has a -version option that shows this information. But javadoc's -version option pertains to @version paragraphs, and its -verbose and -help options don't show the javadoc executable version. Is this an oversight? Is there another good way to find this information?

Javadoc does not have its own version number, it is pretty much tied to Java JDK/SDK itself.

You can use 

javadoc -J-version

or

javadoc -J-fullversion

to get version info on the underlying JDK or SDK.
