DESCRIPTION

15       If required_version is lower than or equal to the version number of the
16       libssh2 in use, the version number of libssh2 is returned as a  pointer
17       to a zero terminated string.

19       The required_version should be the version number as constructed by the
20       LIBSSH2_VERSION_NUM define in the libssh2.h public header  file,  which
21       is  a  24 bit number in the 0xMMmmpp format. MM for major, mm for minor
22       and pp for patch number.

RETURN VALUE

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

32         fprintf(stderr, "Runtime libssh2 version too old!");
33         exit(1);
34       }
35
