NAME¶

pfm_get_version - get library version

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <perfmon/pfmlib.h>

int pfm_get_version(void);

DESCRIPTION¶

The revision number is composed of two fields: a major number and a minor number. Both can be extracted using macros provided in the header file:

PFMLIB_MAJ_VERSION(v)

returns the major number encoded in v.

PFMLIB_MIN_VERSION(v)

returns the minor number encoded in v.

RETURN¶

The function is always successful, i.e., it always returns the 32-bit version number.
