gawk: Extension Version String
16.4.5.3 Registering An Extension Version String
................................................
You can register a version string that indicates the name and version of
your extension with 'gawk', as follows:
'void register_ext_version(const char *version);'
Register the string pointed to by 'version' with 'gawk'. Note that
'gawk' does _not_ copy the 'version' string, so it should not be
changed.
'gawk' prints all registered extension version strings when it is
invoked with the '--version' option.
