NAME

6       Gtk2::version -  Library Version Information
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Gtk2 '1.023';  # require at least version 1.023 of the bindings
10
11         if ($Gtk2::VERSION >= 1.040 and Gtk2->CHECK_VERSION (2, 4, 0)) {
12            # the GtkFileChooser, new in gtk+ 2.4.0 and first supported in
13            # Gtk2-Perl at 1.040, is available
14         } else {
15            # GtkFileChooser is not available, fall back to GtkFileSelection
16         }

DESCRIPTION

19       Since the Gtk2 Perl module is a bridge to an external library with its
20       own versions and API revisions, we have three different versions
21       available for inspection.  Which one you need to use at which time
22       depends entirely on the situation.  Gtk2 uses the same scheme as Glib
23       and the underlying gtk+ C library; that is, the standard $Gtk2::VERSION
24       for the version of the bindings, all-caps (MAJOR|MINOR|MICRO)_VERSION
25       functions for the bound version, and lower-case
26       (major|minor|micro)_version functions for the runtime version.  See
27       Glib::version and
28       http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Feature-Test-Macros.html
29       for more information.

31       Note also that gtk_check_version() and GTK_CHECK_VERSION() have
32       different semantics in C, and we have preserved those faithfully.

METHODS

35   boolean = Gtk2->CHECK_VERSION ($required_major, $required_minor,
36       $required_micro)
37           ·   $required_major (integer)
38
39           ·   $required_minor (integer)
40
41           ·   $required_micro (integer)
42
43           Provides a mechanism for checking the version information that Gtk2
44           was compiled against. Essentially equvilent to the macro
45           GTK_CHECK_VERSION. In most cases this function should be used
46           rather than check_version ().
47
48   (MAJOR, MINOR, MICRO) = Gtk2->GET_VERSION_INFO
49           Shorthand to fetch as a list the gtk+ version for which Gtk2 was
50           compiled.  See "Gtk2::MAJOR_VERSION", etc.
51
52   integer = Gtk2::MAJOR_VERSION
53           The major version of the gtk+ library against which Gtk2 was
54           compiled.  Equivalent to gtk+'s GTK_MAJOR_VERSION.
55
56   integer = Gtk2::MICRO_VERSION
57           The micro version of the gtk+ library against which Gtk2 was
58           compiled.  Equivalent to gtk+'s GTK_MICRO_VERSION.
59
60   integer = Gtk2::MINOR_VERSION
61           The minor version of the gtk+ library against which Gtk2 was
62           compiled.  Equivalent to gtk+'s GTK_MINOR_VERSION.
63
64   string = Gtk2->check_version ($required_major, $required_minor,
65       $required_micro)
66           ·   $required_major (integer)
67
68           ·   $required_minor (integer)
69
70           ·   $required_micro (integer)
71
72           Returns undef if the version of gtk+ currently in use is compatible
73           with the given version, otherwise returns a string describing the
74           mismatch.  Note that this is not the same logic as
75           "Gtk2::CHECK_VERSION".  This check is not terribly reliable, and
76           should not be used to test for availability of widgets or functions
77           in the Gtk2 module --- use "Gtk2::CHECK_VERSION" for that.  See
78           Glib::version for a more detailed description of when you'd want to
79           do a runtime-version test.
80
81   integer = Gtk2::major_version
82           The major version of the gtk+ library current in use at runtime.
83           Equivalent to gtk+'s global variable gtk_major_version.
84
85   integer = Gtk2::micro_version
86           The micro version of the gtk+ library current in use at runtime.
87           Equivalent to gtk+'s global variable gtk_micro_version.
88
89   integer = Gtk2::minor_version
90           The minor version of the gtk+ library current in use at runtime.
91           Equivalent to gtk+'s global variable gtk_minor_version.
92
93   (major, minor, micro) = Gtk2->get_version_info
94           Shorthand to fetch as a list the gtk+ version against which Gtk2 is
95           linked.  See "Gtk2::major_version", etc.
