GetLibVersion

Returns information about the active version of the Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library software.

Syntax

const CryptoLibraryVersion* cryptoGetLibVersion(void);

Description

This function returns a pointer to a static data structure CryptoLibraryVersion that contains information about the current version of the Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library software. There is no need for you to release memory referenced by the returned pointer because it points to a static variable. The following fields of the CryptoLibraryVersion structure are available:

major	is the major number of the current library version.
minor	is the minor number of the current library version.
patch	is the patch number of the current library version.
targetCpu	is the library code path.
name	is the name of the current library version.
buildDate	is the actual build date
strVersion	is the string with the summary information about the current library version.

For example, if the library version is “1.0.0”, library name is “ippcp.lib”, and build date is “Sep 14 2024”, then the fields in this structure are set as follows:

major = 1, minor = 0, patch = 0, targetCpu = “k1”, name = “Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library (k1)”, buildDate = “Sep 14 2024”, strVersion = “Intel® Cryptography Primitives Library (k1) (ver: 1.0.0 (12.0) build: Sep 13 2024)”

Example

The code example below shows how to use the function cryptoGetLibVersion.

void libinfo(void) { const CryptoLibraryVersion* lib = cryptoGetLibVersion();

printf("%s %d.%d.%d\n", lib->name, lib->major, lib->minor, lib->patch);
// or you can print the library version string
printf("%s\n", lib->strVersion);

Output:

ippcp_l.lib 7.0 build 205.68
