TSTRAFFIC...VERSIONGET(3ts)

✨ TSTrafficServerVersionGet ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the TSTrafficServerVersionGet(3ts) page from the Apache Traffic Server fam 💖 this is the one that tells you what version of Traffic Server you're vibing with, and it's giving very much "know your era" energy. periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ts/ts.h>

const char *TSTrafficServerVersionGet(void)

int TSTrafficServerVersionGetMajor(void)

int TSTrafficServerVersionGetMinor(void)

int TSTrafficServerVersionGetPatch(void)

like, four whole functions, all cute, all in <ts/ts.h>. slay.

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so TSTrafficServerVersionGet() hands you back a pointer to a string of characters that says what the Traffic Server release version is. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

⚠️ bestie listen: that string must not be modified. don't touch it. don't edit it. don't be the main character about it. it's not yours, it's read-only realness. 💀

the other three APIs each give you back an integer from the relevant component of that version number string — so major, minor, patch, one int apiece. no cap. 🫶

---

🦋 EXAMPLE 🦋

here's the whole thing, verbatim, so you can copy it and feel iconic:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ts/ts.h>

#define PLUGIN_NAME "hello_world"

int
check_ts_version()
{
    const char *ts_version = TSTrafficServerVersionGet();
    int result = 0;

    if (ts_version) {
        int major_ts_version = 0;
        int minor_ts_version = 0;
        int patch_ts_version = 0;

        if (sscanf(ts_version, "%d.%d.%d", &major_ts_version,
                &minor_ts_version, &patch_ts_version) != 3) {
            return 0;
        }

        /* We need at least Traffic Server 3.0 */
        if (major_ts_version >= 3) {
            result = 1;
        }
    }

    return result;
}

void
TSPluginInit (int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    TSPluginRegistrationInfo info;

    info.plugin_name = PLUGIN_NAME;
    info.vendor_name = "MyCompany";
    info.support_email = "ts-api-support@MyCompany.com";

    if (TSPluginRegister(&info) != TS_SUCCESS) {
        TSError("[%s] Plugin registration failed", PLUGIN_NAME);
    }

    if (!check_ts_version()) {
        TSError("[%s] Plugin requires Traffic Server 3.0 or later", PLUGIN_NAME);
        return;
    }

    TSDebug(PLUGIN_NAME, "Hello World!");
}

it's giving hello_world, it's giving version check, it's giving plugin registration — genuinely iconic. 💖
