<p>ERR_error_string, ERR_error_string_n, ERR_lib_error_string, ERR_func_error_string, ERR_reason_error_string - obtain human-readable error message</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/err.h>
char *ERR_error_string(unsigned long e, char *buf);
void ERR_error_string_n(unsigned long e, char *buf, size_t len);
const char *ERR_lib_error_string(unsigned long e);
const char *ERR_func_error_string(unsigned long e);
const char *ERR_reason_error_string(unsigned long e);</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>ERR_error_string() generates a human-readable string representing the error code <i>e</i>, and places it at <i>buf</i>. <i>buf</i> must be at least 256 bytes long. If <i>buf</i> is <b>NULL</b>, the error string is placed in a static buffer. Note that this function is not thread-safe and does no checks on the size of the buffer; use ERR_error_string_n() instead.</p>
<p>ERR_error_string_n() is a variant of ERR_error_string() that writes at most <i>len</i> characters (including the terminating 0) and truncates the string if necessary. For ERR_error_string_n(), <i>buf</i> may not be <b>NULL</b>.</p>
<p>The string will have the following format:</p>
<pre><code> error:[error code]:[library name]:[function name]:[reason string]</code></pre>
<p><i>error code</i> is an 8 digit hexadecimal number, <i>library name</i>, <i>function name</i> and <i>reason string</i> are ASCII text.</p>
<p>ERR_lib_error_string(), ERR_func_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the library name, function name and reason string respectively.</p>
<p>If there is no text string registered for the given error code, the error string will contain the numeric code.</p>
<p><a href="../man3/ERR_print_errors.html">ERR_print_errors(3)</a> can be used to print all error codes currently in the queue.</p>
<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
<p>ERR_error_string() returns a pointer to a static buffer containing the string if <i>buf</i> <b>== NULL</b>, <i>buf</i> otherwise.</p>
<p>ERR_lib_error_string(), ERR_func_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the strings, and <b>NULL</b> if none is registered for the error code.</p>
