If there is no text string registered for the given error code, the error string will contain the numeric code. RETURN VALUES
ERR_print_errors() and ERR_print_errors_fp() return no values. SEE ALSO
err(3), ERR_error_string(3), ERR_get_error(3), ERR_load_crypto_strings(3), SSL_load_error_strings(3) HISTORY
