ARES_VERSION(3)        C LIBRARY FUNCTIONS        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  optionally  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 major 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).
