Version-checking macros and functions
=====================================
Starting with version 1.0.0 libuv follows the `semantic versioning`_
scheme. This means that new APIs can be introduced throughout the lifetime of
a major release. In this section you'll find all macros and functions that
will allow you to write or compile code conditionally, in order to work with
multiple libuv versions.
.. _semantic versioning: https://semver.org
Macros
------
.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_MAJOR
libuv version's major number.
.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_MINOR
libuv version's minor number.
.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_PATCH
libuv version's patch number.
.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_IS_RELEASE
Set to 1 to indicate a release version of libuv, 0 for a development
snapshot.
.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_SUFFIX
libuv version suffix. Certain development releases such as Release Candidates
might have a suffix such as "rc".
.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_HEX
Returns the libuv version packed into a single integer. 8 bits are used for
each component, with the patch number stored in the 8 least significant
bits. E.g. for libuv 1.2.3 this would be 0x010203.
.. versionadded:: 1.7.0
Functions
---------
.. c:function:: unsigned int uv_version(void)
Returns :c:macro:`UV_VERSION_HEX`.
.. c:function:: const char* uv_version_string(void)
Returns the libuv version number as a string. For non-release versions the
version suffix is included.
