=head1 NAME
ERR_put_error, ERR_add_error_data, ERR_add_error_vdata - record an error
2000-02-01 09:37:00 +08:00
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/err.h>
void ERR_put_error(int lib, int func, int reason, const char *file, int line);
2000-02-01 09:37:00 +08:00
void ERR_add_error_data(int num, ...);
void ERR_add_error_vdata(int num, va_list arg);
2000-02-01 09:37:00 +08:00
=head1 DESCRIPTION
ERR_put_error() adds an error code to the thread's error queue. It
signals that the error of reason code B<reason> occurred in function
B<func> of library B<lib>, in line number B<line> of B<file>.
This function is usually called by a macro.
ERR_add_error_data() associates the concatenation of its B<num> string
arguments with the error code added last.
ERR_add_error_vdata() is similar except the argument is a B<va_list>.
2000-02-01 09:37:00 +08:00
L<ERR_load_strings(3)> can be used to register
2000-02-01 09:37:00 +08:00
error strings so that the application can a generate human-readable
error messages for the error code.
=head2 Reporting errors
Each sub-library has a specific macro XXXerr() that is used to report
errors. Its first argument is a function code B<XXX_F_...>, the second
argument is a reason code B<XXX_R_...>. Function codes are derived
from the function names; reason codes consist of textual error
descriptions. For example, the function ssl3_read_bytes() reports a
"handshake failure" as follows:
SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL3_READ_BYTES, SSL_R_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE);
Function and reason codes should consist of upper case characters,
numbers and underscores only. The error file generation script translates
function codes into function names by looking in the header files
for an appropriate function name, if none is found it just uses
the capitalized form such as "SSL3_READ_BYTES" in the above example.
The trailing section of a reason code (after the "_R_") is translated
into lower case and underscores changed to spaces.
Although a library will normally report errors using its own specific
XXXerr macro, another library's macro can be used. This is normally
only done when a library wants to include ASN1 code which must use
the ASN1err() macro.
