.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\s-1OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER\s0 is a numeric release version identifier:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& MNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status
.Ve
.PP
The status nibble has one of the values 0 for development, 1 to e for betas
1 to 14, and f for release.
.PP
for example
.PP
.Vb 3
\& 0x000906000 == 0.9.6 dev
\& 0x000906023 == 0.9.6b beta 3
\& 0x00090605f == 0.9.6e release
.Ve
.PP
Versions prior to 0.9.3 have identifiers < 0x0930.
Versions between 0.9.3 and 0.9.5 had a version identifier with this
interpretation:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& MMNNFFRBB major minor fix final beta/patch
.Ve
.PP
for example
.PP
.Vb 2
\& 0x000904100 == 0.9.4 release
\& 0x000905000 == 0.9.5 dev
.Ve
.PP
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
\&\s-1OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT\s0 is the text variant of the version number and the
release date.  For example,
\&\*(L"OpenSSL 1.0.1a 15 Oct 2015\*(R".
.PP
\&\fBOpenSSL_version_num()\fR returns the version number.
.PP
\&\fBOpenSSL_version()\fR returns different strings depending on \fBt\fR:
