.SH NAME
|
|
curl_version_info - returns run-time libcurl version info
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "curl_version_info_data *curl_version_info( CURLversion "type ");"
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Returns a pointer to a filled in struct with information about various
|
|
run-time features in libcurl. \fItype\fP should be set to the version of this
|
|
functionality by the time you write your program. This way, libcurl will
|
|
always return a proper struct that your program understands, while programs in
|
|
the future might get an different struct. CURLVERSION_NOW will be the most
|
|
recent one for the library you have installed:
|
|
|
|
data = curl_version_info(CURLVERSION_NOW);
|
|
|
|
Applications should use this information to judge if things are possible to do
|
|
or not, instead of using compile-time checks, as dynamic/DLL libraries can be
|
|
changed independent of applications.
|
|
|
|
The curl_version_info_data struct looks like this
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
CURLversion age; /* 0 - this kind of struct */
|
|
const char *version; /* human readable string */
|
|
unsigned int version_num; /* numeric representation */
|
|
const char *host; /* human readable string */
|
|
int features; /* bitmask, see below */
|
|
char *ssl_version; /* human readable string */
|
|
long ssl_version_num; /* number */
|
|
char *libz_version; /* human readable string */
|
|
const char *protocols[]; /* list of protocols */
|
|
} curl_version_info_data;
|
|
.fi
|
|
|
|
\fIage\fP describes what kind of struct this is. It is always 0 now. In a
|
|
future libcurl, if this struct changes, this age counter may be increased, and
|
|
then the struct for number 1 will look different (except for this first struct
|
|
field).
|
|
|
|
\fIversion\fP is just an ascii string for the libcurl version.
|
|
|
|
\fIversion_num\fP is a 6 digit hexadecimal number created like this: <2 digits
|
|
major number> | <2 digits minor number> | <2 digits patch number>. Version
|
|
7.9.8 is therefore returned as 0x070908.
|
|
|
|
\fIhost\fP is an ascii string showing what host information that this libcurl
|
|
was built for. As discovered by a configure script or set by the build
|
|
environment.
|
|
|
|
\fIfeatures\fP can have none, one or more bits set, and the currently defined
|
|
bits are:
|
|
.TP 5.5
|
|
.B CURL_VERSION_IPV6
|
|
supports IPv6
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B CURL_VERSION_KERBEROS4
|
|
supports kerberos4 (when using FTP)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B CURL_VERSION_SSL
|
|
supports SSL (HTTPS/FTPS)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B CURL_VERSION_LIBZ
|
|
supports HTTP deflate using libz
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIssl_version\fP is an ascii string for the OpenSSL version used. If libcurl
|
|
has no SSL support, this is NULL.
|
|
|
|
\fIssl_version_num\fP is the numerical OpenSSL version value as defined by the
|
|
OpenSSL project. If libcurl has no SSL support, this is 0.
|
|
|
|
\fIlibz_version\fP is an ascii string (there is no numerical version). If
|
|
libcurl has no libz support, this is NULL.
|
|
|
|
\fIprotocols\fP is a pointer to an array of char * pointers, containing the
|
|
names protocols that libcurl supports (using lowercase letters). The protocol
|
|
names are the same as would be used in URLs. The array is terminated by a NULL
|
|
entry.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
A pointer to a curl_version_info_data struct.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
\fIcurl_version(3)\fP
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
No known bugs.
