Function

Trackercheck_version

Declaration [src]

const gchar*
tracker_check_version (
  guint required_major,
  guint required_minor,
  guint required_micro
)

Description [src]

Checks that the Tracker library in use is compatible with the given version.

Generally you would pass in the constants TRACKER_MAJOR_VERSION, TRACKER_MINOR_VERSION, TRACKER_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of Tracker the application or module was compiled against.

Compatibility is defined by two things: first the version of the running library is newer than the version required_major.required_minor.required_micro. Second the running library must be binary compatible with the version required_major.required_minor.required_micro (same major version.)

Parameters

required_major

Type: guint

The required major version.

required_minor

Type: guint

The required minor version.

required_micro

Type: guint

The required micro version.

Return value

Type: const gchar*

NULL if the Tracker library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch.

The data is owned by the called function.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
