Description

GLib provides version information, primarily useful in configure checks for builds that have a configure script. Applications will not typically use the features described here.

Details

GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION

#define GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION 2

The major version number of the GLib library. Like glib_major_version, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

GLIB_MINOR_VERSION

#define GLIB_MINOR_VERSION 24

The minor version number of the GLib library. Like gtk_minor_version, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

GLIB_MICRO_VERSION

#define GLIB_MICRO_VERSION 1

The micro version number of the GLib library. Like gtk_micro_version, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

GLIB_CHECK_VERSION()

#define             GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro)

Checks the version of the GLib library. Returns TRUE if the version of the GLib header files is the same as or newer than the passed-in version.

Example 1. Checking the version of the GLib library

1 2	if (!GLIB_CHECK_VERSION (1, 2, 0)) g_error ("GLib version 1.2.0 or above is needed");

`major` :	the major version number.
`minor` :	the minor version number.
`micro` :	the micro version number.
