If \fIrequired_version\fP is lower than or equal to the version number of the
libssh2 in use, the version number of libssh2 is returned as a pointer to a

bit number in the 0xMMmmpp format. MM for major, mm for minor and pp for patch
number.

string or NULL if the \fIrequired_version\fP is not fulfilled.

.nf
if(!libssh2_version(LIBSSH2_VERSION_NUM)) {
fprintf(stderr, \&"Runtime libssh2 version too old.\&");
exit(1);
}
.fi
Unconditionally get the version number:
.nf
printf(\&"libssh2 version: %s\&", libssh2_version(0));
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
