ERR_load_crypto_strings(3)
NAME
  ERR_load_crypto_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
  The ERR_load_crypto_strings() function registers the error strings for all
  libcrypto functions. The SSL_load_error_strings() function does the same,
  but also registers 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.

  The ERR_free_strings() function frees all previously loaded error strings.

RETURN VALUES
  The ERR_load_crypto_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings(), and
  ERR_free_strings() functions return no values.

HISTORY
  The ERR_load_error_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings(), and
  ERR_free_strings() functions are available in all versions of SSLeay and
  OpenSSL.

SEE ALSO
  Functions: err(3), ERR_error_string(3), SSL_load_error_strings(3),
