Tcl_GetVersion(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_GetVersion(3)
NAME
Tcl_GetVersion - get the version of the library at runtime
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_GetVersion(major, minor, patchLevel, type)
ARGUMENTS
Major version number of the Tcl library. Minor version number of the
Tcl library. The patch level of the Tcl library (or alpha or beta num-
ber). The type of release, also indicates the type of patch level. Can
be one of TCL_ALPHA_RELEASE, TCL_BETA_RELEASE, or TCL_FINAL_RELEASE.
DESCRIPTION
Tcl_GetVersion should be used to query the version number of the Tcl
library at runtime. This is useful when using a dynamically loaded Tcl
library or when writing a stubs-aware extension. For instance, if you
write an extension that is linked against the Tcl stubs library, it
could be loaded into a program linked to an older version of Tcl than
you expected. Use Tcl_GetVersion to verify that fact, and possibly to
change the behavior of your extension.
Tcl_GetVersion accepts NULL for any of the arguments. For instance if
you do not care about the patchLevel of the library, pass a NULL for
the patchLevel argument.
