Research direction

Start by reviewing the question's use of uvloop.version and ctypes.CDLL with uv_version_string(). Determine whether the repository documents a supported way to identify the bundled libuv version; done means providing a clear, verified answer or documenting the appropriate entry point.

Description

Hi, how i can get current version of libuv? I tried uvloop.__version__ but this property shows only uvloop version? On the system - all are clean. apt does not show any libuv version but script works...

import ctypes
libuv = ctypes.CDLL("oop.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so")
libuv.uv_version_string()
#2111514146 - ???????
