ARGUMENTS
int *major (out) Major version number of the
Tcl library.
int *minor (out) Minor version number of the
Tcl library.
int *patchLevel (out) The patch level of the Tcl
library (or alpha or beta
number).
Tcl_ReleaseType *type (out) The type of release, also

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