12

DESCRIPTION

14       If required_version is lower than or equal to the version number of the
15       libssh2 in use, the version number of libssh2 is returned as a  pointer
16       to a zero terminated string.
17
18       The required_version should be the version number as constructed by the
19       LIBSSH2_VERSION_NUM define in the libssh2.h public header  file,  which
20       is  a  24 bit number in the 0xMMmmpp format. MM for major, mm for minor
21       and pp for patch number.

RETURN VALUE

24       The version number of libssh2 is returned as a pointer to a zero termi‐
25       nated string or NULL if the required_version isn't fulfilled.

31         fprintf (stderr, "Runtime libssh2 version too old!");
32         exit(1);
33       }
