curl_version - returns the libcurl version string

#include <curl/curl.h>

char *curl_version();

Returns a human readable string with the version number of libcurl and some of its important components (like OpenSSL version). We recommend using curl_version_info(3) instead!

printf("libcurl version %s\\n", curl_version());

Always A pointer to a null-terminated string. The string resides in a statically allocated buffer and must not be freed by the caller. curl_version_info "(3)"
