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 exten
sion.
If may pass a 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.
