DESCRIPTION
The libmsiecf_get_version() function is used to retrieve the library version.

RETURN VALUES
Most of the functions return NULL or -1 on error, dependent on the return type. For the actual return values refer to libmsiecf.h

ENVIRONMENT
None

FILES
None

NOTES
libmsiecf uses UTF-8 encoded strings except for filenames. ASCII strings in a MSIECF file contain an extended ASCII string using the codepage of the system it was created on. The function libmsiecf_set_ascii_codepage allows to set the required codepage for reading and writing. The default codepage is ASCII and replaces all extended characters to the Unicode replacement character (U+fffd) when reading and the ASCII substitude character (0x1a) when writing. libmsiecf allows to be compiled with wide character support. To compile libmsiecf with wide character support use ./configure --enable-wide-character-type=yes or pass the definition HAVE_WIDE_CHARACTER_TYPE to the compiler (i.e. in case of Microsoft Visual Studio (MSVS) C++). To have other code to determine if libmsiecf was compiled with wide character support it defines LIBMSIECF_HAVE_WIDE_CHARACTER_TYPE in libmsiecf/features.h. libmsiecf allows to be compiled with chained IO support using libbfio. libmsiecf will automatically detect if a compatible version of libbfio is available. To have other code to determine if libmsiecf was compiled with libbfio support it defines LIBMSIECF_HAVE_BFIO in libmsiecf/features.h.
