NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       ERR_print_errors, ERR_print_errors_fp - print error messages

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/err.h>

        void ERR_print_errors(BIO *bp);
        void ERR_print_errors_fp(FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       ERR_print_errors() is a convenience function that prints
       the error strings for all errors that OpenSSL has recorded
       to bp, thus emptying the error queue.

       ERR_print_errors_fp() is the same, except that the output
       goes to a FILE.

       The error strings will have the following format:

        [pid]:error:[error code]:[library name]:[function name]:[reason string]:[file name]:[line]:[optional text message]

       error code is an 8 digit hexadecimal number. library name,
       function name and reason string are ASCII text, as is
       optional text message if one was set for the respective
       error code.

       If there is no text string registered for the given error
       code, the error string will contain the numeric code.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       ERR_print_errors() and ERR_print_errors_fp() return no
       values.
