AG_VERSION(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		 AG_VERSION(3)

NAME
     AG_Version	-- agar	data file versioning

SYNOPSIS
     #include <agar/core.h>

DESCRIPTION
     The agar AG_Version interface encodes or decodes versioning information.
     This includes a magic string and two 32-bit version numbers:

     typedef struct ag_version {
	     Uint32 major, minor;
     } AG_Version;

     The major is incremented whenever a change	introduces binary incompati-
     bility with previous versions of the data files.

     The minor member is incremented whenever a	change is made in the data
     file, but binary compatibility is preserved.

     Major changes that	would otherwise	break binary compatibility can be
     dealt with	by increasing only the minor version number and	adding compat-
     ibility code in the loader	routine.

VERSIONING
     int AG_ReadVersion(AG_DataSource *ds, const char *magic, const AG_Version
     *ver, AG_Version *rver)

     void AG_WriteVersion(AG_DataSource	*ds, const char	*magic,	const
     AG_Version	*ver)

     int AG_ReadObjectVersion(AG_DataSource *ds, AG_Object *obj)

     void AG_WriteObjectVersion(AG_DataSource *ds, const AG_Object *obj)

     The AG_ReadVersion() function reads version information from fd and re-
     turns 0 if	the following data is binary compatible	against	the version
     represented by ver, or -1 if the data is not compatible.  If rver is not
     NULL, it is initialized with the version information read from fd.

     The AG_WriteVersion() function writes version information from the	struc-
     ture ver to ds.

     The AG_ReadObjectVersion()	and AG_WriteObjectVersion() variants use the
     version information contained in the AG_ObjectClass structure of
     AG_Object(3), using the name of the object	class as a signature.
