- --api=x.y.z
- Don't build with support for deprecated APIs below the
- specified version number. For example "--api=1.1.0" will
- remove support for all APIS that were deprecated in OpenSSL
- version 1.1.0 or below. This is a rather specialized option
- for developers. If you just intend to remove all deprecated
- APIs entirely (up to the current version), it is easier
- to add the 'no-deprecated' option instead (see below).
+ --api=x.y[.z]
+ Build the OpenSSL libraries to support the API for
+ the specified version. If "no-deprecated" is also
+ given, don't build with support for deprecated APIs
+ in or below the specified version number. For example
+ "--api=1.1.0" with "no-deprecated" will remove
+ support for all APIS that were deprecated in
+ OpenSSL version 1.1.0 or below.
+ This is a rather specialized option for developers.
+ If you just intend to remove all deprecated APIs
+ entirely (up to the current version), only specify
+ "-no-deprecated" (see below).
+ If "--api" isn't given, it defaults to the current
+ OpenSSL minor version.
