ERR_load_strings3ssl
Load arbitrary error strings
Usage
#include <openssl/err.h>int ERR_load_strings(int lib, ERR_STRING_DATA *str);int ERR_get_next_error_library(void);unsigned long ERR_PACK(int lib, int func, int reason);
Overview
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 {0,0}.
ERR_get_next_error_library() can be used to assign library numbers to user libraries at run time.
Return values
ERR_load_strings() returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. ERR_PACK() returns the error code. ERR_get_next_error_library() returns zero on failure, otherwise a new library number.
