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.
