.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Returns the (compiled) version of the Allegro library, packed into a
single integer as groups of 8 bits in the form
\f[C](major\ <<\ 24)\ |\ (minor\ <<\ 16)\ |\ (revision\ <<\ 8)\ |\ release\f[].
.PP
You can use code like this to extract them:
.IP
.nf
\f[C]
uint32_t\ version\ =\ al_get_allegro_version();
int\ major\ =\ version\ >>\ 24;
int\ minor\ =\ (version\ >>\ 16)\ &\ 255;
int\ revision\ =\ (version\ >>\ 8)\ &\ 255;
int\ release\ =\ version\ &\ 255;
\f[]
.fi
.PP
The \f[C]release\f[] number is 0 for an unofficial version and 1 or
greater for an official release.
For example "5.0.2[1]" would be the (first) official 5.0.2 release while
"5.0.2[0]" would be a compile of a version from the "5.0.2" branch
before the official release.
