1 2.. _version: 3 4Version-checking macros and functions 5===================================== 6 7Starting with version 1.0.0 libuv follows the `semantic versioning`_ 8scheme. This means that new APIs can be introduced throughout the lifetime of 9a major release. In this section you'll find all macros and functions that 10will allow you to write or compile code conditionally, in order to work with 11multiple libuv versions. 12 13.. _semantic versioning: https://semver.org 14 15 16Macros 17------ 18 19.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_MAJOR 20 21 libuv version's major number. 22 23.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_MINOR 24 25 libuv version's minor number. 26 27.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_PATCH 28 29 libuv version's patch number. 30 31.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_IS_RELEASE 32 33 Set to 1 to indicate a release version of libuv, 0 for a development 34 snapshot. 35 36.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_SUFFIX 37 38 libuv version suffix. Certain development releases such as Release Candidates 39 might have a suffix such as "rc". 40 41.. c:macro:: UV_VERSION_HEX 42 43 Returns the libuv version packed into a single integer. 8 bits are used for 44 each component, with the patch number stored in the 8 least significant 45 bits. E.g. for libuv 1.2.3 this would be 0x010203. 46 47 .. versionadded:: 1.7.0 48 49 50Functions 51--------- 52 53.. c:function:: unsigned int uv_version(void) 54 55 Returns :c:macro:`UV_VERSION_HEX`. 56 57.. c:function:: const char* uv_version_string(void) 58 59 Returns the libuv version number as a string. For non-release versions the 60 version suffix is included. 61
