✨ mysql_get_client_version ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the MariaDB Connector/C manual page for mysql_get_client_version(3) 💅 this one's short and sweet, we love a low-effort slay.

🌸 NAME 🌸

mysql_get_client_version — returns client version number 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unsigned long mysql_get_client_version(void);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this function returns a number representing the client library version 💖 it's giving "one integer that contains multitudes" fr fr.

the value has the format XXYYZZ, and it's built like this:

major version * 10000 + minor version * 100 + patch version

so the number is literally just the version parts smooshed together. iconic math, no cap ✨

💜 Notes 💜

  • if you want a string containing the client library version instead, use the mysql_get_client_info(3) function 🫶 different vibe, same energy.
  • ⚠️ big one, pay attention bestie: since MariaDB Server 10.2.6 and MariaDB Connector/C 3.0.1, the client library is bundled with the server package and returns the server package version 😭 so it's not the connector's own version anymore. if you want the client version of the connector, please use the constant MARIADB_PACKAGE_VERSION_ID instead. periodt.

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

a long integer representing the client version 💅 that's it, that's the whole thing.
