TICKIT_VERSION(7)

💖 TICKIT_VERSION — libtickit version queries 💖

okay bestie, welcome to section 7 of the Miscellaneous Information Manual, aka the place where tickit_version_* lives and where we figure out like... which libtickit are we even talking to rn?? 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#define TICKIT_VERSION_MAJOR
#define TICKIT_VERSION_MINOR
#define TICKIT_VERSION_PATCH

int tickit_version_major(void);
int tickit_version_minor(void);
int tickit_version_patch(void);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so there's this trio of macros — TICKIT_VERSION_MAJOR, TICKIT_VERSION_MINOR, TICKIT_VERSION_PATCH — and they hand you the version numbers of the development header at compiletime. like, the numbers baked in when you built your thing. 👑

and then the matching functions — tickit_version_major(), tickit_version_minor(), tickit_version_patch() — return the version numbers from the running library. the one actually loaded and vibing at runtime. 💅

between them?? you can do a lil vibe check at program startup to make sure the library version is actually suitable to support the running program. no cap, that's the whole point. ✨

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

each tickit_version_*() function returns a version integer. that's it, that's the tea. ☕
