You may call

      if (gcry_control (GCRYCTL_SELFTEST, 0))
        fail ("running self-test failed\n");

ay any time:

| @item GCRYCTL_SELFTEST; Arguments: none
| This may be used at anytime to have the library run all implemented
| self-tests.  It works in standard and in FIPS mode.  Returns 0 on
| success or an error code on failure.



Shalom-Salam,
