jpayne@68: .SH NAME
jpayne@68: ares_version \- Get the version number of the library
jpayne@68: .SH SYNOPSIS
jpayne@68: .nf
jpayne@68: #include <ares.h>
jpayne@68: 
jpayne@68: const char *ares_version(int *\fIversion\fP)
jpayne@68: .fi
jpayne@68: .SH DESCRIPTION
jpayne@68: The \fBares_version(3)\fP function gets the library version as a string and
jpayne@68: optionally as an integer stored in the \fIversion\fP argument. If you pass a
jpayne@68: NULL, no integer is attempted to be returned.
jpayne@68: 
jpayne@68: The integer is built up as 24bit number, with 8 separate bits used for major
jpayne@68: number, minor number and patch number. This makes a version string such as
jpayne@68: 1.2.3 will be returned as the hexadecimal number 0x010203 (decimal 66051).
