🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The libmsiecf_get_version() function is used to retrieve the library version. That's literally its whole job bestie, and it ate 💅

---

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

Most of the functions return NULL or -1 on error, dependent on the return type. For the actual return values see "libmsiecf.h" — yeah girl, go read the header, it's giving receipts 🔥

---

🌱 ENVIRONMENT 🌱

None — nothing, nada, no env vars here 🙈

---

📁 FILES 📁

None — no files either, we're low maintenance like that ✨

---

📝 NOTES 📝

libmsiecf allows to be compiled with wide character support (wchar_t). 👑

To compile libmsiecf with wide character support use:

./configure --enable-wide-character-type=yes

or define:

_UNICODE

or:

UNICODE

during compilation.

LIBMSIECF_WIDE_CHARACTER_TYPE in libmsiecf/features.h can be used to determine if libmsiecf was compiled with wide character support. iykyk 🫶
