       Return the version of libnbd.  This is returned as a string in the form "major.minor.release" where each
       of major, minor and release is a small positive integer.  For example:

            minor
              ↓
           "1.0.3"
            ↑   ↑
        major   release

       major = 0
           The  major  number was 0 for the early experimental versions of libnbd where we still had an unstable
           API.

       major = 1
           The major number is 1 for the versions of libnbd with a long-term stable API  and  ABI.   It  is  not
           anticipated that major will be any number other than 1.

       minor = 0, 2, ... (even)
           The minor number is even for stable releases.

       minor = 1, 3, ... (odd)
           The  minor number is odd for development versions.  Note that new APIs added in a development version
           remain experimental and subject to change in that branch until they appear in a stable release.

       release
           The release number is incremented for each release along a particular branch.

       This function does not fail.

       The following parameters must not be NULL: "h".   For  more  information  see  "Non-NULL  parameters"  in
