ARES_VERSION(3) 	    Library Functions Manual		 ARES_VERSION(3)

NAME
     ares_version - Get the version number of the library

SYNOPSIS
     #include <ares.h>

     const char *ares_version(int *version)

DESCRIPTION
     The  ares_version(3)  function gets the library version as a string and op-
     tionally as an integer stored in the version argument. If you pass a  NULL,
     no integer is attempted to be returned.

     The  integer is built up as 24bit number, with 8 separate bits used for ma-
     jor number, minor number and patch number. This makes a version string such
     as 1.2.3 will be returned	as  the  hexadecimal  number  0x010203	(decimal
     66051).
