💖 NAME 💖

shishi_check_version — it's an API function, bestie, and it's here to do a lil vibe check on your library version ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <shishi.h>

const char * shishi_check_version(const char * req_version);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • const char * req_version — the oldest version you're willing to accept, like your bare minimum. Or NULL if you're feeling unbothered and have zero standards today 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so what this does: it checks that the installed library version is at least as recent as whatever you dropped into req_version. The version string is formatted like "1.0.2", so that's the shape you're matching against, no cap 📏

And whenever NULL gets passed to this function, the check is just… suppressed. Like, no check happens at all. But the library version is still returned — she still shows up to the party even when you told her not to bother checking the guest list 🫶

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

It returns the active library version. Or NULL, should the running library be too old. So like, if the vibe check fails, you get nothing back. Iconic but brutal 😭
