💅 NAME 💅

ares_version — bestie, it gets the version number of the library. This page is ARES_VERSION(3) from the Library Functions Manual, and she's serving documentation realness. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <ares.h>

const char *ares_version(int *version)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so 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. not me trying to return an integer when there's no pointer, bye. 🙈

The integer is built up as a 24bit number, with 8 separate bits used for major number, minor number and patch number. So a version string such as 1.2.3 will be returned as the hexadecimal number 0x010203 (decimal 66051). math ate, no cap. 🔥
