NAME

6       ERR_load_crypto_strings, SSL_load_error_strings, ERR_free_strings -
7       load and free error strings
8

SYNOPSIS

10        #include <openssl/err.h>
11
12        void ERR_load_crypto_strings(void);
13        void ERR_free_strings(void);
14
15        #include <openssl/ssl.h>
16
17        void SSL_load_error_strings(void);
18

DESCRIPTION

20       ERR_load_crypto_strings() registers the error strings for all libcrypto
21       functions. SSL_load_error_strings() does the same, but also registers
22       the libssl error strings.
23
24       One of these functions should be called before generating textual error
25       messages. However, this is not required when memory usage is an issue.
26
27       ERR_free_strings() frees all previously loaded error strings.
28

RETURN VALUES

30       ERR_load_crypto_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings() and
31       ERR_free_strings() return no values.
