DESCRIPTION
       Tcl_GetVersion should be used to query the version  number
       of  the Tcl library at runtime.  This is useful when using
       a dynamically loaded Tcl library or when writing a  stubs-
       aware  extension.  For instance, if you write an extension
       that is linked against the Tcl stubs library, it could  be
       loaded  into  a  program linked to an older version of Tcl
       than you expected.   Use  Tcl_GetVersion  to  verify  that
       fact,  and  possibly to change the behavior of your exten-
       sion.

       Tcl_GetVersion accepts NULL for any of the arguments.  For
       instance  if  you  do not care about the patchLevel of the
       library, pass a NULL for the patchLevel argument.
