curl_version3
Returns the libcurl version string
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> char *curl_version();
Overview
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.
Protocols

Examples
int main(void)

printf("libcurl version %s\n", curl_version());
}
Return value
A pointer to a null-terminated string. The string resides in a statically allocated buffer and must not be freed by the caller.
