## Functions

### TUMBLER_CHECK_VERSION()

    #define             TUMBLER_CHECK_VERSION(major, minor, micro)

### tumbler_check_version ()

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

Checks that the `tumbler` library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants TUMBLER_MAJOR_VERSION, TUMBLER_MINOR_VERSION and TUMBLER_MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of `tumbler` the application was compiled against.

Example 1. Checking the runtime version of the tumbler library

    const gchar *mismatch;
    mismatch = tumbler_check_version (TUMBLER_VERSION_MAJOR,
                                      TUMBLER_VERSION_MINOR,
                                      TUMBLER_VERSION_MICRO);
    if (G_UNLIKELY (mismatch != NULL))
      g_error ("Version mismatch: %s", mismatch);

#### Parameters

required_major | the required major version. |
required_minor | the required minor version. |
required_micro | the required micro version. |

#### Returns

`NULL` if the library is compatible with the given version, or a string describing the version mismatch. The returned string is owned by the library and must not be freed or modified by the caller.
