ERR_GET_LIB, ERR_GET_FUNC, ERR_GET_REASON - get library, function and reason code
#include <openssl/err.h>
int ERR_GET_LIB(unsigned long e);
int ERR_GET_FUNC(unsigned long e);
int ERR_GET_REASON(unsigned long e);
The error code returned by ERR_get_error()
consists of a library
number, function code and reason code. ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC()
and ERR_GET_REASON()
can be used to extract these.
The library number and function code describe where the error occurred, the reason code is the information about what went wrong.
Each sub-library of OpenSSL has a unique library number; function and reason codes are unique within each sub-library. Note that different libraries may use the same value to signal different functions and reasons.
ERR_R_... reason codes such as ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE are globally unique. However, when checking for sub-library specific reason codes, be sure to also compare the library number.
ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC()
and ERR_GET_REASON()
are macros.
The library number, function code and reason code respectively.
ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC()
and ERR_GET_REASON()
are available in
all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
