# NAME
|
|
|
|
curl_version - returns the libcurl version string
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
~~~c
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
char *curl_version();
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Returns a human readable string with the version number of libcurl and some of
|
|
its important components (like OpenSSL version).
|
|
|
|
For MultiSSL builds the string contains all SSL backend names and the inactive
|
|
backend names are in parentheses. For example "(OpenSSL/3.0.8) Schannel" or
|
|
"OpenSSL/3.0.8 (Schannel)".
|
|
|
|
We recommend using curl_version_info(3) instead.
