Remarks
This function is provided only as a diagnostic. It returns the build version of the Paul Bunyan library linked to your code as a single long value. Library versions with different major versions may be incompatible with each other and so require extra resources to be used on the same machine. Changes to the release merely indicate code enhancements. Using a library with major version greater than the message server’s corresponding version may result in data omissions due to ‘least common denominator’ effects.
