README

semver.c Build Status GitHub release

Semantic version v2.0 parser and render written in ANSI C with zero dependencies.

Features

  • [x] Standard compliant (otherwise, open an issue)
  • [x] Version metadata parsing
  • [x] Version prerelease parsing
  • [x] Version comparison helpers
  • [x] Supports comparison operators
  • [x] Version render
  • [x] Version bump
  • [x] Version sanitizer
  • [x] 100% test coverage
  • [x] No regexp (ANSI C doesn't support it)
  • [x] Numeric conversion for sorting/filtering

Versions

  • v0 - Legacy version. Beta. Not maintained anymore.
  • v1 - Current stable version.

Usage

Basic comparison:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <semver.h>

char current[] = "1.5.10";
char compare[] = "2.3.0";

int
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    semver_t current_version = {};
    semver_t compare_version = {};

    if (semver_parse(current, &current_version)
      || semver_parse(compare, &compare_version)) {
      fprintf(stderr,"Invalid semver string\n");
      return -1;
    }

    int resolution = semver_compare(compare_version, current_version);

    if (resolution == 0) {
      printf("Versions %s is equal to: %s\n", compare, current);
    }
    else if (resolution == -1) {
      printf("Version %s is lower than: %s\n", compare, current);
    }
    else {
      printf("Version %s is higher than: %s\n", compare, current);
    }

    // Free allocated memory when we're done
    semver_free(&current_version);
    semver_free(&compare_version);
    return 0;
}

Satisfies version:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <semver.h>

semver_t current = {};
semver_t compare = {};

int
main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    semver_parse("1.3.10", &current);
    semver_parse("1.5.2", &compare);

    // Use caret operator for the comparison
    char operator[] = "^";

    if (semver_satisfies(current, compare, operator)) {
      printf("Version %s can be satisfied by %s", "1.3.10", "1.5.2");
    }

    // Free allocated memory when we're done
    semver_free(&current);
    semver_free(&compare);
    return 0;
}

API

struct semver_t { int major, int minor, int patch, char * prerelease, char * metadata }

semver base struct.

semver_parse(const char *str, semver_t *ver) => int

Parses a string as semver expression.

Returns:

  • -1 - In case of invalid semver or parsing error.
  • 0 - All was fine!

semver_compare(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Compare versions a with b.

Returns:

  • -1 in case of lower version.
  • 0 in case of equal versions.
  • 1 in case of higher version.

semver_satisfies(semver_t a, semver_t b, char *operator) => int

Checks if both versions can be satisfied based on the given comparison operator.

Allowed operators:

  • = - Equality
  • >= - Higher or equal to
  • <= - Lower or equal to
  • < - Lower than
  • > - Higher than
  • ^ - Caret operator comparison (more info)
  • ~ - Tilde operator comparison (more info)

Returns:

  • 1 - Can be satisfied
  • 0 - Cannot be satisfied

semver_satisfies_caret(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Checks if version x can be satisfied by y performing a comparison with caret operator.

See: https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/semver#caret-ranges-1-2-3-0-2-5-0-0-4

Returns:

  • 1 - Can be satisfied
  • 0 - Cannot be satisfied

semver_satisfies_patch(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Checks if version x can be satisfied by y performing a comparison with tilde operator.

See: https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/semver#tilde-ranges-1-2-3-1-2-1

Returns:

  • 1 - Can be satisfied
  • 0 - Cannot be satisfied

semver_eq(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Equality comparison.

semver_ne(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Non equal comparison.

semver_gt(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Greater than comparison.

semver_lt(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Lower than comparison.

semver_gte(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Greater than or equal comparison.

semver_lte(semver_t a, semver_t b) => int

Lower than or equal comparison.

semver_render(semver_t *v, char *dest) => void

Render as string.

semver_numeric(semver_t *v) => int

Render as numeric value. Useful for ordering and filtering.

semver_bump(semver_t *a) => void

Bump major version.

semver_bump_minor(semver_t *a) => void

Bump minor version.

semver_bump_patch(semver_t *a) => void

Bump patch version.

semver_free(semver_t *a) => void

Helper to free allocated memory from heap.

semver_is_valid(char *str) => int

Checks if the given string is a valid semver expression.

semver_clean(char *str) => int

Removes invalid semver characters in a given string.
