.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIERR_error_string()\fR generates a human-readable string representing the
error code \fIe\fR, and places it at \fIbuf\fR. \fIbuf\fR must be at least 120
bytes long. If \fIbuf\fR is \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR, the error string is placed in a
static buffer.
\&\fIERR_error_string_n()\fR is a variant of \fIERR_error_string()\fR that writes
at most \fIlen\fR characters (including the terminating 0)
and truncates the string if necessary.
For \fIERR_error_string_n()\fR, \fIbuf\fR may not be \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR.
.PP
The string will have the following format:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& error:[error code]:[library name]:[function name]:[reason string]
.Ve
.PP
\&\fIerror code\fR is an 8 digit hexadecimal number, \fIlibrary name\fR,
\&\fIfunction name\fR and \fIreason string\fR are \s-1ASCII\s0 text.
.PP
\&\fIERR_lib_error_string()\fR, \fIERR_func_error_string()\fR and
\&\fIERR_reason_error_string()\fR return the library name, function
name and reason string respectively.
.PP
The OpenSSL error strings should be loaded by calling
\&\fIERR_load_crypto_strings\fR\|(3) or, for \s-1SSL\s0
applications, \fISSL_load_error_strings\fR\|(3)
first.
If there is no text string registered for the given error code,
the error string will contain the numeric code.
.PP
\&\fIERR_print_errors\fR\|(3) can be used to print
all error codes currently in the queue.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIERR_error_string()\fR returns a pointer to a static buffer containing the
string if \fIbuf\fR \fB== \s-1NULL\s0\fR, \fIbuf\fR otherwise.
.PP
\&\fIERR_lib_error_string()\fR, \fIERR_func_error_string()\fR and
\&\fIERR_reason_error_string()\fR return the strings, and \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if
none is registered for the error code.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
\&\fIerr\fR\|(3), \fIERR_get_error\fR\|(3),

\&\fIERR_print_errors\fR\|(3)
.SH "HISTORY"
.IX Header "HISTORY"
\&\fIERR_error_string()\fR is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
\&\fIERR_error_string_n()\fR was added in OpenSSL 0.9.6.
