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).
