    # Example of CRD versioning structure in a Salt module

    # Define the version of the module
    __version__ = '1.0.0'

    def my_function():
        """
        A function to demonstrate configuration and versioning
        """
        return "This is a sample function."

    # Additional versioned functionality can be placed in a separate file
    # under a versioned directory. For example:
    #
    # /srv/salt/my_module/v1.0.0/
    # /srv/salt/my_module/v1.1.0/
    #
    # Each directory can have its own __init__.py and modules that correspond
    # to the version, allowing for proper version management and upgrades.
