## Description

Variables and functions to check the libsoup version.

## Functions

### soup_get_major_version ()

    guint
    soup_get_major_version (void);

Returns the major version number of the libsoup library. (e.g. in libsoup version 2.42.0 this is 2.)

This function is in the library, so it represents the libsoup library your code is running against. Contrast with the SOUP_MAJOR_VERSION macro, which represents the major version of the libsoup headers you have included when compiling your code.

#### Returns

the major version number of the libsoup library

### soup_get_minor_version ()

    guint
    soup_get_minor_version (void);

Returns the minor version number of the libsoup library. (e.g. in libsoup version 2.42.0 this is 42.)

This function is in the library, so it represents the libsoup library your code is running against. Contrast with the SOUP_MINOR_VERSION macro, which represents the minor version of the libsoup headers you have included when compiling your code.

#### Returns

the minor version number of the libsoup library

### soup_get_micro_version ()

    guint
    soup_get_micro_version (void);

Returns the micro version number of the libsoup library. (e.g. in libsoup version 2.42.0 this is 0.)

This function is in the library, so it represents the libsoup library your code is running against. Contrast with the SOUP_MICRO_VERSION macro, which represents the micro version of the libsoup headers you have included when compiling your code.

#### Returns

the micro version number of the libsoup library

### soup_check_version ()

    gboolean
    soup_check_version (guint major,
                        guint minor,
                        guint micro);

Like SOUP_CHECK_VERSION, but the check for soup_check_version is at runtime instead of compile time. This is useful for compiling against older versions of libsoup, but using features from newer versions.

#### Parameters

major | the major version to check |
minor | the minor version to check |
micro | the micro version to check |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the version of the libsoup currently loaded is the same as or newer than the passed-in version.

### SOUP_CHECK_VERSION()

    #define             SOUP_CHECK_VERSION(major, minor, micro)

Macro to test the version of libsoup being compiled against.

#### Parameters

major | major version (e.g. 2 for version 2.42.0) |
minor | minor version (e.g. 42 for version 2.42.0) |
micro | micro version (e.g. 0 for version 2.42.0) |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the version of the libsoup header files is the same as or newer than the passed-in version.

## Types and Values

### SOUP_MAJOR_VERSION

    #define SOUP_MAJOR_VERSION (3)

Like `soup_get_major_version()`, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

### SOUP_MINOR_VERSION

    #define SOUP_MINOR_VERSION (0)

Like `soup_get_minor_version()`, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

### SOUP_MICRO_VERSION

    #define SOUP_MICRO_VERSION (7)

Like `soup_get_micro_version()`, but from the headers used at application compile time, rather than from the library linked against at application run time.

### SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED

    # define SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED (SOUP_VERSION_CUR_STABLE)

A macro that should be defined by the user prior to including libsoup.h. The definition should be one of the predefined libsoup version macros: `SOUP_VERSION_2_24`, `SOUP_VERSION_2_26`, ...

This macro defines the earliest version of libsoup that the package is required to be able to compile against.

If the compiler is configured to warn about the use of deprecated functions, then using functions that were deprecated in version `SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED` or earlier will cause warnings (but using functions deprecated in later releases will not).

### SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED

    # define SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED (SOUP_VERSION_CUR_STABLE)

A macro that should be defined by the user prior to including libsoup.h. The definition should be one of the predefined libsoup version macros: `SOUP_VERSION_2_24`, `SOUP_VERSION_2_26`, ...

This macro defines the latest version of the libsoup API that the package is allowed to make use of.

If the compiler is configured to warn about the use of deprecated functions, then using functions added after version `SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED` will cause warnings.

Unless you are using `SOUP_CHECK_VERSION()` or the like to compile different code depending on the libsoup version, then this should be set to the same value as `SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED`.

### SOUP_VERSION_3_0

    #define SOUP_VERSION_3_0 (G_ENCODE_VERSION (3, 0))

A macro that evaluates to the 3.0 version of libsoup, in a format that can be used by the C pre-processor.

Since: 3.0
