DESCRIPTION

19       OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER is a numeric release version identifier:
20
21        MNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status
22
23       The status nibble has one of the values 0 for development, 1 to e for
24       betas 1 to 14, and f for release.
25
26       for example
27
28        0x000906000 == 0.9.6 dev
29        0x000906023 == 0.9.6b beta 3
30        0x00090605f == 0.9.6e release
31
32       Versions prior to 0.9.3 have identifiers < 0x0930.  Versions between
33       0.9.3 and 0.9.5 had a version identifier with this interpretation:
34
35        MMNNFFRBB major minor fix final beta/patch
36
37       for example
38
39        0x000904100 == 0.9.4 release
40        0x000905000 == 0.9.5 dev
41
42       Version 0.9.5a had an interim interpretation that is like the current
43       one, except the patch level got the highest bit set, to keep
44       continuity.  The number was therefore 0x0090581f.
45
46       OpenSSL_version_num() returns the version number.
47
48       OpenSSL_version() returns different strings depending on t:
49
50       OPENSSL_VERSION
51           The text variant of the version number and the release date.  For
52           example, "OpenSSL 1.0.1a 15 Oct 2015".
53
54       OPENSSL_CFLAGS
55           The compiler flags set for the compilation process in the form
56           "compiler: ..."  if available or "compiler: information not
57           available" otherwise.
58
59       OPENSSL_BUILT_ON
60           The date of the build process in the form "built on: ..." if
61           available or "built on: date not available" otherwise.
62
63       OPENSSL_PLATFORM
64           The "Configure" target of the library build in the form "platform:
65           ..."  if available or "platform: information not available"
66           otherwise.
67
68       OPENSSL_DIR
69           The "OPENSSLDIR" setting of the library build in the form
70           "OPENSSLDIR: "...""  if available or "OPENSSLDIR: N/A" otherwise.
71
72       OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR
73           The "ENGINESDIR" setting of the library build in the form
74           "ENGINESDIR: "...""  if available or "ENGINESDIR: N/A" otherwise.
75
76       For an unknown t, the text "not available" is returned.
77

RETURN VALUES

79       OpenSSL_version_num() returns the version number.
80
81       OpenSSL_version() returns requested version strings.
