NAME
       ares_version - Get the version number of the library

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ares.h>

       const char *ares_version(int *version)

DESCRIPTION
       The  ares_version(3)  function gets the library version as a string and
       optionally as an integer stored in the version argument. If you pass  a
       NULL, no integer is attempted to be returned.

       The  integer is built up as 24bit number, with 8 separate bits used for
       major number, minor number and  patch  number.  This  makes  a  version
       string  such  as  1.2.3  will  be  returned  as  the hexadecimal number
       0x010203 (decimal 66051).
