The first two digits contain the major release number, the third and fourth digits the minor release number, and the fifth and sixth digits the fix release number. For OpenSSL, the seventh and eight digits contain the patch release number and the final digit is 0 for development, 1 to e for betas 1 to 14, or f for release. For LibreSSL, .Dv OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER is always 0x020000000, and .Dv LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER always ends with 00f. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal -offset indent OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER: 0x000906000 == 0.9.6 dev 0x000906023 == 0.9.6b beta 3 0x00090605f == 0.9.6e release 0x020000000 == 2.0.0 for any version of LibreSSL LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER: 0x02070000f == LibreSSL 2.7.0 .Ed .Pp OpenSSL versions prior to 0.9.3 had identifiers < 0x0930. For versions between 0.9.3 and 0.9.5, the seventh digit was 1 for release and 0 otherwise, and the eighth and ninth digits were the patch release number. .Pp For example: .Bd -literal 0x000904100 == 0.9.4 release 0x000905000 == 0.9.5 dev .Ed .Pp OpenSSL 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. .Pp .Fn OpenSSL_version_num returns .Dv OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER . .Pp .Fn OpenSSL_version returns different strings depending on .Fa t : .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Dv OPENSSL_VERSION The text variant of the version number, .Dv OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT . For OpenSSL, it includes the release date, for example .Qq OpenSSL 0.9.5a 1 Apr 2000 . For LibreSSL, .Dv LIBRESSL_VERSION_TEXT is returned. .It Dv OPENSSL_CFLAGS The compiler flags set for the compilation process in the form .Qq compiler: ... if available or .Qq compiler: information not available otherwise. LibreSSL never provides compiler information. .It Dv OPENSSL_BUILT_ON The date of the build process in the form .Qq built on: ... if available or .Qq built on: date not available otherwise. LibreSSL never provides information on the build date. .It Dv OPENSSL_PLATFORM The Configure target of the library build in the form .Qq platform: ... if available or .Qq platform: information not available otherwise. LibreSSL never provides platform information. .It Dv OPENSSL_DIR The .Dv OPENSSLDIR setting of the library build in the form .Qq OPENSSLDIR: Qq ... if available or .Qq OPENSSLDIR: N/A otherwise. For LibreSSL, the default is .Qq OPENSSLDIR: Qq /etc/ssl . .It Dv OPENSSL_ENGINES_DIR The .Dv ENGINESDIR setting of the library build in the form .Qq ENGINESDIR: Qq ... if available or .Qq ENGINESDIR: N/A otherwise. LibreSSL never provides or uses an .Dv ENGINESDIR . .El .Pp For an unknown .Fa t , the text .Qq not available is returned. .Pp For backward compatibility, .Dv SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER is an alias for .Dv OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER and .Fn SSLeay for .Dv OpenSSL_version_num . The legacy function .Fn SSLeay_version is similar to .Fn OpenSSL_version except that it takes arguments .Dv SSLEAY_VERSION , .Dv SSLEAY_CFLAGS , .Dv SSLEAY_BUILT_ON , .Dv SSLEAY_PLATFORM , and .Dv SSLEAY_DIR which expand to .Em other numerical values than the corresponding .Dv OPENSSL_* macros. .Sh RETURN VALUES .Fn OpenSSL_version_num and .Fn SSLeay return a constant version number. .Pp .Fn OpenSSL_version and .Fn SSLeay_version return pointers to static strings. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr crypto 3 , .Xr OPENSSL_config 3 .Sh HISTORY .Fn SSLeay , .Fn SSLeay_version , and .Dv SSLEAY_VERSION_NUMBER first appeared in SSLeay 0.6.0 and have been available since .Ox 2.4 . .Pp .Dv OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER first appeared in the first OpenSSL release, OpenSSL 0.9.1c, and has been available since .Ox 2.6 . .Pp .Dv SSLEAY_DIR first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7 and have been available since .Ox 3.2 . .Pp .Dv LIBRESSL_VERSION_NUMBER first appeared in LibreSSL 2.0.0 and .Ox 5.6 and got its final format in LibreSSL 2.3.2 and .Ox 5.9 . .Dv LIBRESSL_VERSION_TEXT first appeared in LibreSSL 2.2.2 and .Ox 5.8 . .Pp .Fn OpenSSL_version_num and .Fn OpenSSL_version first appeared in OpenSSL 1.1.0 and have been available since LibreSSL 2.7.1 and .Ox 6.3 .
