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).
