10 #include <openssl/err.h>
11
12 void ERR_load_strings(int lib, ERR_STRING_DATA str[]);
13
14 int ERR_get_next_error_library(void);
15
16 unsigned long ERR_PACK(int lib, int func, int reason);
17
18=head1 DESCRIPTION
19
20ERR_load_strings() registers error strings for library number B<lib>.
21
22B<str> is an array of error string data:
23
24 typedef struct ERR_string_data_st
25 {
26        unsigned long error;
27        char *string;
28 } ERR_STRING_DATA;
29
30The error code is generated from the library number and a function and
31reason code: B<error> = ERR_PACK(B<lib>, B<func>, B<reason>).
32ERR_PACK() is a macro.
33
34The last entry in the array is {0,0}.
35
36ERR_get_next_error_library() can be used to assign library numbers
37to user libraries at runtime.
38
39=head1 RETURN VALUE
40
41ERR_load_strings() returns no value. ERR_PACK() return the error code.
42ERR_get_next_error_library() returns a new library number.
