ERR_GET_LIB(3)


NAME

  ERR_GET_LIB, ERR_GET_FUNC, ERR_GET_REASON - Get library, function and
  reason code


SYNOPSIS

  #include <openssl/err.h>

  int ERR_GET_LIB(
	  unsigned long e );

  int ERR_GET_FUNC(
	  unsigned long e );

  int ERR_GET_REASON(
	  unsigned long e );


DESCRIPTION

  The error code returned by the ERR_get_error() function consists of a
  library number, function code and reason code. The ERR_GET_LIB(),
  ERR_GET_FUNC(), and ERR_GET_REASON() macros can be used to extract these.

  The library number and function code describe where the error occurred.
  The reason code is the information about what went wrong.

  Each sublibrary of OpenSSL has a unique library number; function and reason
  codes are unique within each sublibrary.  Different libraries may use the
  same value to signal different functions and reasons.

  The ERR_R_... reason codes, such as ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE, are globally
  unique. However, when checking for sublibrary specific reason codes, be
  sure to compare the library number.


RETURN VALUES

  These functions return the library number, function code, and reason code
  respectively.


HISTORY

  ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC(), and ERR_GET_REASON() are available in all
  versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
