ERR_LOAD_STRINGS(3) Library Functions Manual ERR_LOAD_STRINGS(3) NAME ERR_load_strings, ERR_PACK, ERR_get_next_error_library - load arbitrary OpenSSL error strings SYNOPSIS #include void ERR_load_strings(int lib, ERR_STRING_DATA str[]); unsigned long ERR_PACK(int lib, int func, int reason); int ERR_get_next_error_library(void); 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, NULL}. ERR_get_next_error_library() can be used to assign library numbers to user libraries at runtime. RETURN VALUES ERR_PACK() returns the error code. ERR_get_next_error_library() returns a new library number. SEE ALSO ERR(3) HISTORY ERR_load_strings() and ERR_PACK() first appeared in SSLeay 0.4.4. ERR_get_next_error_library() first appeared in SSLeay 0.9.0. These functions have been available since OpenBSD 2.4. Linux 6.8.7-arch1-1 March 27, 2018 Linux 6.8.7-arch1-1
