Description

Details

eds_major_version

extern const guint eds_major_version;

The major version number of the Evolution-Data-Server libraries. (e.g. in Evolution-Data-Server 2.24.1 this is 2.)

This variable is in the library, so it represents the EDS library you have linked against. Contrast with the EDS_MAJOR_VERSION macro, which represents the major version of the EDS headers you have included.


eds_minor_version

extern const guint eds_minor_version;

The minor version number of the Evolution-Data-Server libraries. (e.g. in Evolution-Data-Server 2.24.1 this is 24.)

This variable is in the library, so it represents the EDS library you have linked against. Contrast with the EDS_MINOR_VERSION macro, which represents the minor version of the EDS headers you have included.


eds_micro_version

extern const guint eds_micro_version;

The micro version number of the Evolution-Data-Server libraries. (e.g. in Evolution-Data-Server 2.24.1 this is 1.)

This variable is in the library, so it represents the EDS library you have linked against. Contrast with the EDS_MICRO_VERSION macro, which represents the micro version of the EDS headers you have included.


eds_check_version ()

const gchar *       eds_check_version                   (guint required_major,
                                                         guint required_minor,
                                                         guint required_micro);

Checks that the Evolution-Data-Server library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants EDS_MAJOR_VERSION, EDS_MINOR_VERSION, EDS_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function. That produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of Evolution-Data-Server the application or module was compiled against.

required_major :

the required major version

required_minor :

the required minor version

required_micro :

the required micro version

Returns :

NULL if the Evolution-Data-Server library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by libedataserver and must not be modified or freed.

Since 2.24


EDS_MAJOR_VERSION

#define EDS_MAJOR_VERSION 3

The major version number of the Evolution-Data-Server library. Like eds_major_version(), but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.


EDS_MINOR_VERSION

#define EDS_MINOR_VERSION 10

The minor version number of the Evolution-Data-Server library. Like eds_minor_version(), but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.


EDS_MICRO_VERSION

#define EDS_MICRO_VERSION 2

The micro version number of the Evolution-Data-Server library. Like eds_micro_version(), but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.


EDS_CHECK_VERSION()

#define             EDS_CHECK_VERSION(major,minor,micro)

Checks the version of the Evolution-Data-Server library. Returns TRUE if the version of the EDS header files is the same as or newer than the passed-in version.

major :

the major version number

minor :

the minor version number

micro :

the micro version number
