10 #include <openssl/err.h>
11
12 void ERR_print_errors(BIO *bp);
13 void ERR_print_errors_fp(FILE *fp);
14 void ERR_print_errors_cb(int (*cb)(const char *str, size_t len, void *u),
15                          void *u);

17=head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19ERR_print_errors() is a convenience function that prints the error
20strings for all errors that OpenSSL has recorded to B<bp>, thus
21emptying the error queue.
22
23ERR_print_errors_fp() is the same, except that the output goes to a
24B<FILE>.
25
26ERR_print_errors_cb() is the same, except that the callback function,
27B<cb>, is called for each error line with the string, length, and userdata
28B<u> as the callback parameters.
29
30The error strings will have the following format:
31
32 [pid]:error:[error code]:[library name]:[function name]:[reason string]:[filename]:[line]:[optional text message]
33
34I<error code> is an 8 digit hexadecimal number. I<library name>,
35I<function name> and I<reason string> are ASCII text, as is I<optional
36text message> if one was set for the respective error code.
37
38If there is no text string registered for the given error code,
39the error string will contain the numeric code.
40
41=head1 RETURN VALUES
42
