/**
* SECTION:version
* @Title: Version Information
* @Short_description: variables and functions to check the GLib version
*
* GLib provides version information, primarily useful in configure
* checks for builds that have a configure script. Applications will
* not typically use the features described here.
*
* The GLib headers annotate deprecated APIs in a way that produces
* compiler warnings if these deprecated APIs are used. The warnings
* can be turned off by defining the macro %GLIB_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS
* before including the glib.h header.
*
* GLib also provides support for building applications against
* defined subsets of deprecated or new GLib APIs. Define the macro
* %GLIB_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to specify up to what version of GLib
* you want to receive warnings about deprecated APIs. Define the
* macro %GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED to specify the newest version of
* GLib whose API you want to use.

/**

*
* Checks that the GLib library in use is compatible with the
* given version. Generally you would pass in the constants
* #GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION, #GLIB_MINOR_VERSION, #GLIB_MICRO_VERSION
* as the three arguments to this function; that produces
* a check that the library in use is compatible with
* the version of GLib the application or module was compiled
* against.
*
* Compatibility is defined by two things: first the version
* of the running library is newer than the version
* @required_major.required_minor.@required_micro. Second
* the running library must be binary compatible with the
* version @required_major.required_minor.@required_micro
* (same major version.)
*
* Returns: %NULL if the GLib library is compatible with the
* given version, or a string describing the version mismatch.
* The returned string is owned by GLib and must not be modified
* or freed.

* Since: 2.6
