al_get_allegro_version(3)  Library Functions Manual  al_get_allegro_version(3)

NAME
       al_get_allegro_version -	Allegro	5 API

SYNOPSIS
	      #include <allegro5/allegro.h>

	      uint32_t al_get_allegro_version(void)

DESCRIPTION
       Returns	the  (compiled)	 version of the	Allegro	library, packed	into a
       single integer as groups	of 8 bits in the form (major <<	24)  |	(minor
       << 16) |	(revision << 8)	| release.

       You can use code	like this to extract them:

	      uint32_t version = al_get_allegro_version();
	      int major	= version >> 24;
	      int minor	= (version >> 16) & 255;
	      int revision = (version >> 8) & 255;
	      int release = version & 255;

       The  release number is 0	for an unofficial version and 1	or greater for
       an official release.  For example "5.0.2[1]" would be the (first) offi-
       cial 5.0.2 release while	"5.0.2[0]" would be a  compile	of  a  version
       from the	"5.0.2"	branch before the official release.
