## Description

These macros and variables let you check the version of gdk-pixbuf you're linking against.

## Details

### gdk_pixbuf_version

    extern const char *gdk_pixbuf_version;

Contains the full version of the gdk-pixbuf library as a string. This is the version currently in use by a running program.

### gdk_pixbuf_major_version

    extern const guint gdk_pixbuf_major_version;

The major version number of the gdk-pixbuf library. (e.g. in gdk-pixbuf version 1.2.5 this is 1.)

This variable is in the library, so represents the gdk-pixbuf library you have linked against. Contrast with the GDK_PIXBUF_MAJOR macro, which represents the major version of the gdk-pixbuf headers you have included.

### gdk_pixbuf_minor_version

    extern const guint gdk_pixbuf_minor_version;

The minor version number of the gdk-pixbuf library. (e.g. in gdk-pixbuf version 1.2.5 this is 2.)

This variable is in the library, so represents the gdk-pixbuf library you have linked against. Contrast with the GDK_PIXBUF_MINOR macro, which represents the minor version of the gdk-pixbuf headers you have included.

### gdk_pixbuf_micro_version

    extern const guint gdk_pixbuf_micro_version;

The micro version number of the gdk-pixbuf library. (e.g. in gdk-pixbuf version 1.2.5 this is 5.)

This variable is in the library, so represents the gdk-pixbuf library you have linked against. Contrast with the GDK_PIXBUF_MICRO macro, which represents the micro version of the gdk-pixbuf headers you have included.

### GDK_PIXBUF_VERSION

    #define GDK_PIXBUF_VERSION "2.16.6"

Contains the full version of the gdk-pixbuf header as a string. This is the version being compiled against; contrast with gdk_pixbuf_version.

### GDK_PIXBUF_MAJOR

    #define GDK_PIXBUF_MAJOR (2)

Major version of gdk-pixbuf library, that is the first "0" in "0.8.0" for example.

### GDK_PIXBUF_MINOR

    #define GDK_PIXBUF_MINOR (16)

Minor version of gdk-pixbuf library, that is the "8" in "0.8.0" for example.

### GDK_PIXBUF_MICRO

    #define GDK_PIXBUF_MICRO (6)

Micro version of gdk-pixbuf library, that is the last "0" in "0.8.0" for example.
