=head2 Macros
The three macros B<OPENSSL_VERSION_MAJOR>, B<OPENSSL_VERSION_MINOR> and
-B<OPENSSL_VERSION_PATCH> represent the three parts of a 3 numbered version
-number, MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.
+B<OPENSSL_VERSION_PATCH> represent the three parts of a version
+identifier, B<I<MAJOR>.I<MINOR>.I<PATCH>>.
-The macro B<OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE> is an added bit of text that,
-when defined, indicates that this is a pre-release version, such as
-C<"-dev"> for an ongoing development snapshot, C<"-alpha3"> for an
-alpha release, etc...
+The macro B<OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE> is an added bit of text that
+indicates that this is a pre-release version, such as C<"-dev"> for an
+ongoing development snapshot or C<"-alpha3"> for an alpha release.
The value must be a string.
-The macro B<OPENSSL_VERSION_BUILD_METADATA> is extra metadata, reserved
-for other parties (examples: C<"+fips">, C<"+vendor.1">).
-The OpenSSL project will not touch this macro.

B<OPENSSL_VERSION_STR> is a convenience macro to get the short version
-number string, "MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH".

B<OPENSSL_FULL_VERSION_STR> is a convenience macro to get the longer
-version number string, which combines B<OPENSSL_VERSION_STR>,
+version identifier string, which combines B<OPENSSL_VERSION_STR>,
B<OPENSSL_VERSION_PRE_RELEASE> and B<OPENSSL_VERSION_BUILD_METADATA>.
B<OPENSSL_VERSION_TEXT> is a convenience macro to get a full descriptive
OPENSSL_version_pre_release(), and OPENSSL_version_build_metadata() return
the values of the macros above for the build of the library, respectively.

=item OPENSSL_CFLAGS
The compiler flags set for the compilation process in the form
-"compiler: ..." if available or "compiler: information not available"

=item OPENSSL_CPU_INFO
This is the current setting of the cpu capability flags. It is usually
automatically configured but may be set via an environment variable.
The value has the same syntax as the environment variable.
-For x86 the string looks like "CPUINFO: OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x123:0x456".
-Or "CPUINFO: N/A" if not available, e.g. no-asm build.
+For x86 the string looks like C<CPUINFO: OPENSSL_ia32cap=0x123:0x456>
+or C<CPUINFO: N/A> if not available.

-For an unknown B<t>, the text "not available" is returned.
