glib_check_version ()

const gchar *       glib_check_version                  (guint required_major,
                                                         guint required_minor,
                                                         guint required_micro);

Checks that the GLib library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION, GLIB_MINOR_VERSION, GLIB_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of GLib 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.)

required_major :

the required major version.

required_minor :

the required minor version.

required_micro :

the required micro version.

Returns :

NULL if the GLib library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by GLib and must not be modified or freed.
