NAME

       ares_version - Get the version number of the library

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ares.h>

       const char *ares_version(int *version)

DESCRIPTION

       The ares_version 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).

NOTES

       This function is not compatible with ares.
