ERR_load_crypto_strings(3) OpenSSL ERR_load_crypto_strings(3)
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 regis-
ters 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.
SEE ALSO
err(3), ERR_error_string(3)
HISTORY
ERR_load_error_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings() and ERR_free_strings() are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
