                               29 January 2004



 NAME
      ares_version - Get the version number of the library

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <ares.h>

      const char *ares_version(int *version)

 DESCRIPTION
      The ares_version(3) function gets the library version as a string and
      optionally as an integer stored in the version argument. If you pass a
      NULL, no integer is attempted to be returned.

      The integer is built up as 24bit number, with 8 separate bits used for
      major number, minor number and patch number. This makes a version
      string such as 1.2.3 will be returned as the hexadecimal number
      0x010203 (decimal 66051).
