Function
Gtkcheck_version
Declaration [src]
const char*
gtk_check_version (
  guint required_major,
  guint required_minor,
  guint required_micro
)
Description [src]
Checks that the GTK library in use is compatible with the given version.
Generally you would pass in the constants GTK_MAJOR_VERSION,
GTK_MINOR_VERSION, GTK_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments
to this function; that produces a check that the library in
use is compatible with the version of GTK the application or
module was compiled against.
Compatibility is defined by two things: first the version
of the running library is newer than the version
required_major.required_minor.required_micro. Second
the running library must be binary compatible with the
version required_major.required_minor.required_micro
(same major version.)
This function is primarily for GTK modules; the module can call this function to check that it wasn’t loaded into an incompatible version of GTK. However, such a check isn’t completely reliable, since the module may be linked against an old version of GTK and calling the old version of gtk_check_version(), but still get loaded into an application using a newer version of GTK.
Parameters
| required_major | guint | 
| The required major version. | |
| required_minor | guint | 
| The required minor version. | |
| required_micro | guint | 
| The required micro version. | 
Return value
| Returns: | const char* | 
| 
 | |
| The data is owned by the called function. | |
| The return value can be NULL. | |
| The string is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. |
