major major version number (the integer portion of the version)
minor minor version number (the hundredths portion of the version)
Example:

For version 1.0, ''major'' = 1 and ''minor'' = For version 2.10, ''major'' = 2 and ''minor'' = 10. Table 9 below lists the major and minor version values for the officially published Cryptoki specifications.

2.01 0x02 0x01
2.10 0x02 0x0a
2.11 0x02 0x0b
2.20 0x02 0x14

Minor revisions of the Cryptoki standard are always upwardly compatible within the same major version number.

CK_VERSION_PTR is a pointer to a CK_VERSION.
