+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ipsec_strerror
+.Nd error messages for the IPsec policy manipulation library
+.\"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In netipsec/ipsec.h
+.Ft "const char *"
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+.\"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.In netipsec/ipsec.h
+declares
+.Pp
+.Dl extern int ipsec_errcode;
+.Pp
+which is used to pass an error code from IPsec policy manipulation library
+to a user program.
+The
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+function can be used to obtain the error message string for the error code.
+.Pp
+The array pointed to is not to be modified by the program.
+Since
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+uses
+.Xr strerror 3
+as an underlying function, calling
+.Xr strerror 3
+after
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+would overwrite the return value from
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+and make it invalid.
+.\"
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+function always returns a pointer to C string.
+The C string must not be overwritten by the caller.
+.\"
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ipsec_set_policy 3
+.\"
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+function first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
+.\"
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Fn ipsec_strerror
+function will return its result which may be overwritten by subsequent calls.
+.Pp
+.Va ipsec_errcode
+is not thread safe.
