 #include <openssl/err.h>
 |

Deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0:

=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ERR_error_string() generates a human-readable string representing the
 | 
						|
error code I<e>, and places it at I<buf>. I<buf> must be at least 256
 | 
						|
bytes long. If I<buf> is B<NULL>, the error string is placed in a
 | 
						|
static buffer.
 | 
						|
Note that this function is not thread-safe and does no checks on the size
 | 
						|
of the buffer; use ERR_error_string_n() instead.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ERR_error_string_n() is a variant of ERR_error_string() that writes
 | 
						|
at most I<len> characters (including the terminating 0)
 | 
						|
and truncates the string if necessary.
 | 
						|
For ERR_error_string_n(), I<buf> may not be B<NULL>.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The string will have the following format:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 error:[error code]:[library name]::[reason string]
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I<error code> is an 8 digit hexadecimal number, I<library name> and
 | 
						|
I<reason string> are ASCII text.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ERR_lib_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the library
 | 
						|
name and reason string respectively.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If there is no text string registered for the given error code,
 | 
						|
the error string will contain the numeric code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
L<ERR_print_errors(3)> can be used to print
 | 
						|
all error codes currently in the queue.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ERR_error_string() returns a pointer to a static buffer containing the
 | 
						|
string if I<buf> B<== NULL>, I<buf> otherwise.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ERR_lib_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the strings,
 | 
						|
and B<NULL> if none is registered for the error code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
ERR_func_error_string() returns NULL.
