DESCRIPTION

36       Tcl_GetVersion should be used to query the version number  of  the  Tcl
37       library at runtime.  This is useful when using a dynamically loaded Tcl
38       library or when writing a stubs-aware extension.  For instance, if  you
39       write  an  extension  that  is linked against the Tcl stubs library, it
40       could be loaded into a program linked to an older version of  Tcl  than
41       you  expected.  Use Tcl_GetVersion to verify that fact, and possibly to
42       change the behavior of your extension.
43
44       Tcl_GetVersion accepts NULL for any of the arguments. For  instance  if
45       you  do  not  care about the patchLevel of the library, pass a NULL for
46       the patchLevel argument.
