NAME

       nbd_get_version - return the version of the library

SYNOPSIS

        #include <libnbd.h>

        const char * nbd_get_version (struct nbd_handle *h);

DESCRIPTION

       Return the version of libnbd.  This is returned as a string in the form "major.minor.release" where each
       of major, minor and release is a small positive integer.  For example:

            minor
              ↓
           "1.0.3"
            ↑   ↑
        major   release

       major = 0
           The  major  number was 0 for the early experimental versions of libnbd where we still had an unstable
           API.

       major = 1
           The major number is 1 for the versions of libnbd with a long-term stable API  and  ABI.   It  is  not
           anticipated that major will be any number other than 1.

       minor = 0, 2, ... (even)
           The minor number is even for stable releases.

       minor = 1, 3, ... (odd)
           The  minor number is odd for development versions.  Note that new APIs added in a development version
           remain experimental and subject to change in that branch until they appear in a stable release.

       release
           The release number is incremented for each release along a particular branch.

RETURN VALUE

       This call returns a statically allocated string, valid for the lifetime of the process or until libnbd is
       unloaded by dlclose(3).  You must not try to free the string.

ERRORS

       This function does not fail.

VERSION

       This function first appeared in libnbd 1.0.

       If you need to test if this function is available at  compile  time  check  if  the  following  macro  is
       defined:
