DESCRIPTION

   Macros
       The three macros OPENSSL_VERSION_MAJOR, OPENSSL_VERSION_MINOR and
       OPENSSL_VERSION_PATCH represent the three parts of a version
       identifier, MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

       The macro OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE is an added bit of text that
       indicates that this is a pre-release version, such as "-dev" for an
       ongoing development snapshot or "-alpha3" for an alpha release.  The
       value must be a string.

       The macro OPENSSL_VERSION_BUILD_METADATA is extra information, reserved
       for other parties, such as "+fips", or "+vendor.1").  The OpenSSL
       project will not touch this macro (will leave it an empty string).  The
       value must be a string.

       OPENSSL_VERSION_STR is a convenience macro to get the short version
       identifier string, "MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH".

       OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STR is a convenience macro to get the longer
       version identifier string, which combines OPENSSL_VERSION_STR,
       OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE and OPENSSL_VERSION_BUILD_METADATA.

       OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT is a convenience macro to get a full descriptive
       version text, which includes OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STR and the release
       date.

       OPENSSL_VERSION_PREREQ is a useful macro for checking whether the
       OpenSSL version for the headers in use is at least at the given pre-
       requisite major (maj) and minor (min) number or not. It will evaluate
       to true if the header version number
       (OPENSSL_VERSION_MAJOR.OPENSSL_VERSION_MINOR) is greater than or equal
       to maj.min.

       OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER is a combination of the major, minor and patch
       version into a single integer 0xMNN00PP0L, where:

       M   is the number from OPENSSL_VERSION_MAJOR, in hexadecimal notation

       NN  is the number from OPENSSL_VERSION_MINOR, in hexadecimal notation

       PP  is the number from OPENSSL_VERSION_PATCH, in hexadecimal notation

   Functions
       OPENSSL_version_major(), OPENSSL_version_minor(),
       OPENSSL_version_patch(), OPENSSL_version_pre_release(), and
       OPENSSL_version_build_metadata() return the values of the macros above
       for the build of the library, respectively.

       OpenSSL_version(3) returns different strings depending on t:

       OPENSSL_VERSION
           The value of OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT

       OPENSSL_VERSION_STRING
           The value of OPENSSL_VERSION_STR

       OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STRING
           The value of OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STR

       OPENSSL_CFLAGS
           The compiler flags set for the compilation process in the form
           "compiler: ..."  if available, or "compiler: information not
           available" otherwise.

       OPENSSL_BUILT_ON
           The date of the build process in the form "built on: ..." if
           available or "built on: date not available" otherwise.  The date
           would not be available in a reproducible build, for example.

       OPENSSL_PLATFORM
           The "Configure" target of the library build in the form "platform:
           ..."  if available, or "platform: information not available"
           otherwise.

       OPENSSL_DIR
           The OPENSSLDIR setting of the library build in the form
           "OPENSSLDIR: "...""  if available, or "OPENSSLDIR: N/A" otherwise.

       OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR
           The ENGINESDIR setting of the library build in the form
           "ENGINESDIR: "...""  if available, or "ENGINESDIR: N/A" otherwise.
           This option is deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

       OPENSSL_MODULES_DIR
           The MODULESDIR setting of the library build in the form
           "MODULESDIR: "...""  if available, or "MODULESDIR: N/A" otherwise.

       OPENSSL_CPU_INFO
           The current OpenSSL cpu settings.  This is the current setting of
           the cpu capability flags. It is usually automatically configured
           but may be set via an environment variable.  The value has the same
           syntax as the environment variable.  For x86 the string looks like
           "CPUINFO: OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x123:0x456" or "CPUINFO: N/A" if not
           available.

       For an unknown t, the text "not available" is returned.

       OPENSSL_info() also returns different strings depending on t:

       OPENSSL_INFO_CONFIG_DIR
           The configured "OPENSSLDIR", which is the default location for
           OpenSSL configuration files.

       OPENSSL_INFO_ENGINES_DIR
           The configured "ENGINESDIR", which is the default location for
           OpenSSL engines.

       OPENSSL_INFO_MODULES_DIR
           The configured "MODULESDIR", which is the default location for
           dynamically loadable OpenSSL modules other than engines.

       OPENSSL_INFO_DSO_EXTENSION
           The configured dynamically loadable module extension.

       OPENSSL_INFO_DIR_FILENAME_SEPARATOR
           The separator between a directory specification and a filename.
           Note that on some operating systems, this is not the same as the
           separator between directory elements.

       OPENSSL_INFO_LIST_SEPARATOR
           The OpenSSL list separator.  This is typically used in strings that
           are lists of items, such as the value of the environment variable
           $PATH on Unix (where the separator is ":") or "%PATH%" on Windows
           (where the separator is ";").

       OPENSSL_INFO_CPU_SETTINGS
           The current OpenSSL cpu settings.  This is the current setting of
           the cpu capability flags. It is usually automatically configured
           but may be set via an environment variable.  The value has the same
           syntax as the environment variable.  For x86 the string looks like
           "OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x123:0x456".

       For an unknown t, NULL is returned.

       OpenSSL_version_num() returns the value of OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER.


RETURN VALUES

       OPENSSL_version_major(), OPENSSL_version_minor() and
       OPENSSL_version_patch() return the version number parts as integers.

       OPENSSL_version_pre_release() and OPENSSL_version_build_metadata()
       return the values of OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE and
       OPENSSL_VERSION_BUILD_METADATA respectively as constant strings.  For
       any of them that is undefined, the empty string is returned.

       OpenSSL_version(3) returns constant strings.
