curl_version(3) returns the libcurl version string

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

char *curl_version( );

DESCRIPTION

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!

RETURN VALUE

A pointer to a zero terminated string. The string resides in a statically allocated buffer and must not be freed by the caller.
