openssl_errstr(1) [netbsd man page]

ERRSTR(1)							      OpenSSL								 ERRSTR(1)

NAME

       errstr - lookup error codes

LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS

       openssl errstr error_code

DESCRIPTION

       Sometimes an application will not load error message and only numerical forms will be available. The errstr utility can be used to display
       the meaning of the hex code. The hex code is the hex digits after the second colon.

EXAMPLE

       The error code:

	27594:error:2006D080:lib(32):func(109):reason(128):bss_file.c:107:

       can be displayed with:

	openssl errstr 2006D080

       to produce the error message:

	error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file

NAME

       ERR_load_crypto_strings, SSL_load_error_strings, ERR_free_strings - load and free error strings

SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/err.h>

        void ERR_load_crypto_strings(void);
        void ERR_free_strings(void);

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        void SSL_load_error_strings(void);

DESCRIPTION

       ERR_load_crypto_strings() registers the error strings for all libcrypto functions. SSL_load_error_strings() does the same, but also
       registers the libssl error strings.

       One of these functions should be called before generating textual error messages. However, this is not required when memory usage is an
       issue.

       ERR_free_strings() frees all previously loaded error strings.

RETURN VALUES

       ERR_load_crypto_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings() and ERR_free_strings() return no values.

HISTORY

       ERR_load_error_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings() and ERR_free_strings() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
