 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-SSL_client_version() returns the protocol version used by the client when
-initiating the connection. SSL_get_version() returns the name of the protocol
-used for the connection. SSL_version() returns the protocol version used for the
-connection. They should only be called after the initial handshake has been
-completed. Prior to that the results returned from these functions may be
-unreliable.
+SSL_client_version() returns the numeric protocol version advertised by the
+client in the legacy_version field of the ClientHello when initiating the
+connection. Note that, for TLS, this value will never indicate a version greater
+than TLSv1.2 even if TLSv1.3 is subsequently negotiated. SSL_get_version()
+returns the name of the protocol used for the connection. SSL_version() returns
+the numeric protocol version used for the connection. They should only be called
+after the initial handshake has been completed. Prior to that the results
+returned from these functions may be unreliable.
 
 SSL_is_dtls() returns one if the connection is using DTLS, zero if not.
