+== NAME
+
+nng_version - report library version
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+[source, c]
+----
+#include <nng/nng.h>
+
+const char * nng_version(void);
+----
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+The `nng_version()` function returns a human readable ((version number))
+for the _nng_ library.
+This is intended for output in programs, and so forth.
+
+Additionally, compile time version information is available
+via some predefined macros:
+
+((`NNG_MAJOR_VERSION`)):: Major version number.
+((`NNG_MINOR_VERSION`)):: Minor version number.
+((`NNG_PATCH_VERSION`)):: Patch version number.
+
+The _nng_ library is developed and released using
+http://www.semver.org[Semantic Versioning 2.0], and
+the version numbers reported refer to both the API and the
+library itself.
+(The ((ABI)) -- ((application binary interface)) -- between the
+library and the application is controlled in a similar, but different
+manner depending upon the link options and how the library is built.)
+
+== RETURN VALUES
+
+C string (`NUL`-terminated) containing the library version number.
+
+== ERRORS
+
+None.
