✨ stringprep_check_version ✨

okay so bestie, we're in libidn land and this is the stringprep_check_version(3) page 💖 it's the little vibe-check function that makes sure the library you're actually running is at least as new as the one you asked for. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

stringprep_check_version — literally the "API function" that checks your version, periodt 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <stringprep.h>

const char * stringprep_check_version(const char * req_version);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • const char * req_version — the version number you're requiring, minimum-style. or just NULL if you're feeling chill, no pressure 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the whole plot: this function checks that the version of the library is at minimum the requested one, and then it returns the version string. if that condition is not satisfied? it returns NULL. it's giving bouncer at the club, honestly 🚪✨

and if you pass a NULL to this function, no check is done at all — it just simply returns the version string. like okay, low maintenance, we respect it 🙈

See STRINGPREP_VERSION for a suitable req_version string 👀 that's your girl right there.

Return value: the version string of the run-time library 💖 or NULL if the run-time library does not meet the required version number 😭 (yes, that's a real rejection, it happens).
