NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       ERR_load_crypto_strings, SSL_load_error_strings,
       ERR_free_strings - load and free error strings

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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    [Toc]    [Back]

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

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

       err(3), ERR_error_string(3)
