Version Information — Variables and functions to check Cattle's version

Functions

#define	CATTLE_CHECK_VERSION()
gboolean	cattle_check_version ()

Types and Values

#define	CATTLE_MAJOR_VERSION
#define	CATTLE_MINOR_VERSION
#define	CATTLE_MICRO_VERSION
extern const guint	cattle_major_version
extern const guint	cattle_minor_version
extern const guint	cattle_micro_version

Includes

#include <cattle/cattle.h>

Description

The following variables, functions and macros allow one to check both the version of Cattle being used for compilation and the one used at runtime.

Cattle follows the MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO versioning scheme, where all releases sharing the same major number are ABI compatible and releases with and odd minor number are unstable releases targeted at developers only.

Functions

CATTLE_CHECK_VERSION()

#define             CATTLE_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro)

Check the Cattle library used for compilation is compatible with the required version described by major , minor and micro .

Parameters

major	required major version
minor	required minor version
micro	required micro version

Returns

TRUE if the library used for compilation is compatible, FALSE otherwise

cattle_check_version ()

gboolean
cattle_check_version (guint required_major,
                      guint required_minor,
                      guint required_micro);

Check the Cattle library used at runtime is compatible with the required version described by required_major , required_minor and required_micro .

Parameters

required_major	required major version
required_minor	required minor version
required_micro	required micro version

Returns

TRUE if the runtime library is compatible, FALSE otherwise
