#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Summary: Print the latest installed or known version with the given prefix
# Usage: pyenv latest [-k|--known] <prefix>
#
#   -k/--known      Select from all known versions instead of installed
#   -b/--bypass     (internal) On a resolution failure, do not print an error message
#                   but rather print the argument unchanged
#   -f/--force      (internal) Same as -b but also do not return a failure exit code
