+```C
+NAPI_EXTERN napi_status napi_get_version(napi_env env,

+- `[in] env`: The environment that the API is invoked under.
+- `[out] result`: The highest version of N-API supported.
+
+Returns `napi_ok` if the API succeeded.
+
+This API returns the highest N-API version supported by the
+Node.js runtime.  N-API is planned to be additive such that
+newer releases of Node.js may support additional API functions.  Since
+the goal is forward compatibility, older versions may not support
+the new functions even if we port empty stubs to earlier Node.js
+versions in order to facilitate use of the new functions with later
+Node.js releases.  To support this case an addon can call
+`napi_get_version` to check which level of N-API is supported
+at run time. Based on the result of this check the addon can
+implement appropriate code paths when functions
+are, or are not, fully implemented.
