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 int *major (out) Major version number of the Tcl library. int *minor (out) Minor version number of the Tcl library. int *patchLevel (out) The patch level of the Tcl li- brary (or alpha or beta number). Tcl_ReleaseType *type (out) The type of release, also indi- cates the type of patch level. Can be one of TCL_ALPHA_RELEASE, TCL_BETA_RELEASE, or TCL_FI- NAL_RELEASE. ________________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION Tcl_GetVersion should be used to query the version number of the Tcl li- brary at runtime. This is useful when using a dynamically loaded Tcl li- brary 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 patch- Level argument.
