<p>OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER, OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT, OpenSSL_version, OpenSSL_version_num - get OpenSSL version number</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/opensslv.h&gt;
 #define OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER 0xnnnnnnnnnL
 #define OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT &quot;OpenSSL x.y.z xx XXX xxxx&quot;

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER is a numeric release version identifier:</p>

<pre><code> MNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status</code></pre>

<p>The status nibble has one of the values 0 for development, 1 to e for betas 1 to 14, and f for release.</p>

<p>for example</p>

<pre><code> 0x000906000 == 0.9.6 dev
 0x000906023 == 0.9.6b beta 3
 0x00090605f == 0.9.6e release</code></pre>

<p>Versions prior to 0.9.3 have identifiers &lt; 0x0930. Versions between 0.9.3 and 0.9.5 had a version identifier with this interpretation:</p>

<pre><code> MMNNFFRBB major minor fix final beta/patch</code></pre>

<p>for example</p>

<pre><code> 0x000904100 == 0.9.4 release
 0x000905000 == 0.9.5 dev</code></pre>

<p>Version 0.9.5a had an interim interpretation that is like the current one, except the patch level got the highest bit set, to keep continuity. The number was therefore 0x0090581f.</p>

<p>OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT is the text variant of the version number and the release date. For example, &quot;OpenSSL 1.0.1a 15 Oct 2015&quot;.</p>

<p>OpenSSL_version_num() returns the version number.</p>

<p>OpenSSL_version() returns different strings depending on <b>t</b>:</p>
