NAME

6       ERR_remove_thread_state, ERR_remove_state - free a thread's error queue
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/err.h>
10
11        void ERR_remove_thread_state(const CRYPTO_THREADID *tid);
12
13       Deprecated:
14
15        void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid);
16

DESCRIPTION

18       ERR_remove_thread_state() frees the error queue associated with thread
19       tid.  If tid == NULL, the current thread will have its error queue
20       removed.
21
22       Since error queue data structures are allocated automatically for new
23       threads, they must be freed when threads are terminated in order to
24       avoid memory leaks.
25
26       ERR_remove_state is deprecated and has been replaced by
27       ERR_remove_thread_state. Since threads in OpenSSL are no longer
28       identified by unsigned long values any argument to this function is
29       ignored. Calling ERR_remove_state is equivalent to
30       ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
31

RETURN VALUE

33       ERR_remove_thread_state and ERR_remove_state() return no value.

HISTORY

39       ERR_remove_state() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
40       It was deprecated in OpenSSL 1.0.0 when ERR_remove_thread_state was
41       introduced and thread IDs were introduced to identify threads instead
42       of 'unsigned long'.
