.. function:: libpq_version()
- Query actual ``libpq`` version loaded.
+ Return the version number of the ``libpq`` dynamic library loaded as an
+ integer, in the same format of `~connection.server_version`.
- This function throws `NotSupportedError` if it was compiled with
- ``libpq < 9.1``.
+ Raise `~psycopg2.NotSupportedError` if the ``psycopg2`` module was
+ compiled with a ``libpq`` version lesser than 9.1 (which can be detected
+ by the `~psycopg2.__libpq_version__` constant).
