<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><code>ERR_error_string()</code> generates a human-readable string representing the
error code <em>e</em>, and places it at <em>buf</em>. <em>buf</em> must be at least 256
bytes long. If <em>buf</em> is <strong>NULL</strong>, 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 <code>ERR_error_string_n()</code> instead.</p>
<p><code>ERR_error_string_n()</code> is a variant of <code>ERR_error_string()</code> that writes
at most <em>len</em> characters (including the terminating 0)
and truncates the string if necessary.
For <code>ERR_error_string_n()</code>, <em>buf</em> may not be <strong>NULL</strong>.</p>
<p>The string will have the following format:</p>
<pre>
error:[error code]:[library name]::[reason string]</pre>
<p><em>error code</em> is an 8 digit hexadecimal number, <em>library name</em> and
<em>reason string</em> are ASCII text.</p>
<p><code>ERR_lib_error_string()</code> and <code>ERR_reason_error_string()</code> return the library
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><em>ERR_print_errors(3)</em> can be used to print
all error codes currently in the queue.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="return_values">RETURN VALUES</a></h1>
<p><code>ERR_error_string()</code> returns a pointer to a static buffer containing the
string if <em>buf</em> <strong>== NULL</strong>, <em>buf</em> otherwise.</p>
<p><code>ERR_lib_error_string()</code> and <code>ERR_reason_error_string()</code> return the strings,
and <strong>NULL</strong> if none is registered for the error code.</p>
<p><code>ERR_func_error_string()</code> returns NULL.</p>
