Description

The panel library provides version information, which could be used by plugins to handle new API.

Details

libxfce4panel_major_version

extern const guint libxfce4panel_major_version;

The major version number of the libxfce4panel library (e.g. in version 4.8.0 this is 4).

This variable is in the library, so represents the libxfce4panel library you have linked against. Contrast with the LIBXFCE4PANEL_MAJOR_VERSION macro, which represents the major version of the libxfce4panel headers you have included.

Since 4.8


libxfce4panel_minor_version

extern const guint libxfce4panel_minor_version;

The minor version number of the libxfce4panel library (e.g. in version 4.8.0 this is 8).

This variable is in the library, so represents the libxfce4panel library you have linked against. Contrast with the LIBXFCE4PANEL_MINOR_VERSION macro, which represents the minor version of the libxfce4panel headers you have included.

Since 4.8


libxfce4panel_micro_version

extern const guint libxfce4panel_micro_version;

The micro version number of the libxfce4panel library (e.g. in version 4.8.0 this is 0).

This variable is in the library, so represents the libxfce4panel library you have linked against. Contrast with the LIBXFCE4PANEL_MICRO_VERSION macro, which represents the micro version of the libxfce4panel headers you have included.

Since 4.8


libxfce4panel_check_version ()

const gchar *       libxfce4panel_check_version         (guint required_major,
                                                         guint required_minor,
                                                         guint required_micro);

Checks that the libxfce4panel library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants LIBXFCE4PANEL_MAJOR_VERSION, LIBXFCE4PANEL_MINOR_VERSION and LIBXFCE4PANEL_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of libxfce4panel the extension was compiled against.
