## DESCRIPTION

The **libesedb\_get\_version**() function is used to retrieve the library version.

## RETURN VALUES

Most of the functions return NULL or -1 on error, dependent on the return type. For the actual return values see "libesedb.h".

## ENVIRONMENT

None

## FILES

None

## NOTES

libesedb can be compiled with wide character support (wchar\_t).

To compile libesedb with wide character support use: *./configure* *--enable-wide-character-type=yes*\
  or define: *\_UNICODE*\
  or *UNICODE*\
  during compilation.

*LIBESEDB\_WIDE\_CHARACTER\_TYPE*\
  in libesedb/features.h can be used to determine if libesedb was compiled with wide character support.
