The latest documentation for OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER at https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.0/crypto/OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER.html says that it is 9 hex digits, with the last nibble being a status identifier, while every use I have seen of it in header files treats it as 8 hex digits. Can anybody straighten me out on this ?

Also the latest documentation give it as

MNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status

where the examples in that documentation clearly show it as

MMNNFFPPS: major minor fix patch status

Can anybody straighten me out on this ?

I would like to use the OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER at compile time to choose between functionality for version 1.1.0 and version 1.0.x but the confusion in my mind of how OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER actually is specified is making that impossible.
