GstVersion: GStreamer 1.0 Core Reference Manual

## GstVersion GstVersion — GStreamer version macros. |

## Functions

#define | GST_CHECK_VERSION()

## Types and Values

#define | GST_VERSION_MAJOR
#define | GST_VERSION_MINOR
#define | GST_VERSION_MICRO
#define | GST_VERSION_NANO

## Includes

    #include <gst/gst.h>

## Description

Use the GST_VERSION_* macros e.g. when defining own plugins. The GStreamer runtime checks if these plugin and core version match and refuses to use a plugin compiled against a different version of GStreamer. You can also use the macros to keep the GStreamer version information in your application.

Use the `gst_version()` function if you want to know which version of GStreamer you are currently linked against.

The version macros get defined by including "gst/gst.h".
