NAME

ERR_load_strings, ERR_PACK, ERR_get_next_error_library - load arbitrary error strings

LIBRARY

libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS


 #include 


 void ERR_load_strings(int lib, ERR_STRING_DATA str[]);


 int ERR_get_next_error_library(void);


 unsigned long ERR_PACK(int lib, int func, int reason);

DESCRIPTION

_E_R_R___l_o_a_d___s_t_r_i_n_g_s_(_) registers error strings for library number lliibb.

ssttrr is an array of error string data:





 typedef struct ERR_string_data_st
 {
        unsigned long error;
        char *string;
 } ERR_STRING_DATA;

The error code is generated from the library number and a function and reason code: eerrrroorr = ERR_PACK(lliibb, ffuunncc, rreeaassoonn). _E_R_R___P_A_C_K_(_) is a macro.

The last entry in the array is {0,0}.

_E_R_R___g_e_t___n_e_x_t___e_r_r_o_r___l_i_b_r_a_r_y_(_) can be used to assign library numbers to user libraries at runtime.

RETURN VALUE

_E_R_R___l_o_a_d___s_t_r_i_n_g_s_(_) returns no value. _E_R_R___P_A_C_K_(_) return the error code. _E_R_R___g_e_t___n_e_x_t___e_r_r_o_r___l_i_b_r_a_r_y_(_) returns a new library number.
