ERR_load_strings(3)          OpenSSL          ERR_load_strings(3)

NAME

     ERR_load_strings, ERR_PACK, ERR_get_next_error_library -
     load arbitrary error strings

SYNOPSIS

      #include <openssl/err.h>

      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

     ERR_load_strings() registers error strings for library
     number lib.

     str 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: error = ERR_PACK(lib, func,
     reason).  ERR_PACK() is a macro.

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

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

RETURN VALUE

     ERR_load_strings() returns no value. ERR_PACK() return the
     error code.  ERR_get_next_error_library() returns a new
     library number.

     versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. ERR_get_next_error_library()
     was added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
