ERR_GET_LIB(3SSL) OpenSSL ERR_GET_LIB(3SSL)NAME
ERR_GET_LIB, ERR_GET_FUNC, ERR_GET_REASON - get library, function and reason code
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/err.h>
int ERR_GET_LIB(unsigned long e);
int ERR_GET_FUNC(unsigned long e);
int ERR_GET_REASON(unsigned long e);
DESCRIPTION
The error code returned by ERR_get_error() consists of a library number, function code and reason code. ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC() and
ERR_GET_REASON() can be used to extract these.
The library number and function code describe where the error occurred, the reason code is the information about what went wrong.
Each sub-library of OpenSSL has a unique library number; function and reason codes are unique within each sub-library. Note that different
libraries may use the same value to signal different functions and reasons.
ERR_R_... reason codes such as ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE are globally unique. However, when checking for sub-library specific reason codes, be
sure to also compare the library number.
ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC() and ERR_GET_REASON() are macros.
RETURN VALUES
The library number, function code and reason code respectively.
SEE ALSO err(3), ERR_get_error(3)HISTORY
ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC() and ERR_GET_REASON() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
