Retrieving the Software Version Number

To fetch the version number of the software, use the IDVE_GetVersion() function. The Address Verification version number count begins with 6 and the IDVE version number count begins with 1 at launch as IDVE is a new module of the software. You can call the IDVE_GetVersion() function at any time.

You can retrieve the following version numbers:

The version of the IDVE framework. When you provide an empty string URI (""), the IDVE_GetVersion() function fetches the IDVE framework version number, for example "0.0.2.51140".

The version of the Address Verification function. When you provide an URI to the function ("AV"), the IDVE_GetVersion() function fetches the Address Verification version number, for example "6.0.0.51140".

You can retrieve the version number without initializing IDVE.

The following sample code shows the structure of the IDVE_GetVersion() function:

IDVE_EXPORTCALL1 IDVE_StatusCode IDVE_EXPORTCALL2 IDVE_GetVersion(
const char* const kpksURI,
char* const kpsValueBuffer,
const IDVE_U64 ku64ValueBufferSize,
IDVE_U64* const kpu64SizeWritten,
char* const kpsExtStatusMsg
);

The following table shows the function definitions of the IDVE_GetVersion() function:

Function	Operation	Comment
const char* const kpksURI	[in]	Pointer to the zero-terminated 7-bit ASCII URI with desired version, for example "" for IDVE or "AV" for AddressVerification. The value might not be NULL.
char* const kpsValueBuffer,	[out]	Pointer to the output buffer that receives the UTF-8 encoded version string and the terminating zero. The value might not be NULL.
const IDVE_U64 ku64ValueBufferSize	[in]	Size of the output buffer in code units, including the terminating zero.
IDVE_U64* const kpu64SizeWritten	[out]	Pointer to an unsigned 64-bit integer value that receives the size of the output written in code units, excluding the terminating zero. The value might be NULL.
char* const kpsExtStatusMsg	[out]	Pointer to a buffer of size IDVE_EXT_STATUS_MSG_BUFFER_SIZE for an optional extended status message. The value might be NULL.
