DESCRIPTION
       TTccllGGeettVVeerrssiioonn 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 TTccllGGeettVVeerrssiioonn to verify that fact, and possibly to
       change the behavior of your extension.

       TTccllGGeettVVeerrssiioonn 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.
