ERR_load_strings(3)
NAME
  ERR_load_strings, ERR_PACK, ERR_get_next_error_library - Load arbitrary
  error strings

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/err.h>

  void 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 );

DESCRIPTION
  The ERR_load_strings() function registers error strings for library number
  lib.

  The 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}.

  The ERR_get_next_error_library() function can be used to assign library
  numbers to user libraries at runtime.

RETURN VALUE
  The ERR_load_strings() function returns no value.  The ERR_PACK() function
  returns the error code. The ERR_get_next_error_library() function returns a
  new library number.

HISTORY
  The ERR_load_error_strings() and ERR_PACK() functions are available in all
  versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.  The ERR_get_next_error_library() function
  was added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
