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  possi-
       bly to change the behavior of your extension.

       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.
