=head1 NAME
OSSL_ERR_STATE_new, OSSL_ERR_STATE_save, OSSL_ERR_STATE_restore,
OSSL_ERR_STATE_free - saving and restoring error state
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/err.h>
ERR_STATE *OSSL_ERR_STATE_new(void);
void OSSL_ERR_STATE_save(ERR_STATE *es);
void OSSL_ERR_STATE_restore(const ERR_STATE *es);
void OSSL_ERR_STATE_free(ERR_STATE *es);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions save and restore the error state from the thread
local error state to a preallocated error state structure.
OSSL_ERR_STATE_new() allocates an empty error state structure to
be used when saving and restoring thread error state.
OSSL_ERR_STATE_save() saves the thread error state to I<es>. It
subsequently clears the thread error state. Any previously saved
state in I<es> is cleared prior to saving the new state.
OSSL_ERR_STATE_restore() adds all the error entries from the
saved state I<es> to the thread error state. Existing entries in
the thread error state are not affected if there is enough space
for all the added entries. Any allocated data in the saved error
entries is duplicated on adding to the thread state.
OSSL_ERR_STATE_free() frees the saved error state I<es>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
OSSL_ERR_STATE_new() returns a pointer to the allocated ERR_STATE
structure or NULL on error.
OSSL_ERR_STATE_save(), OSSL_ERR_STATE_restore(), OSSL_ERR_STATE_free()
do not return any values.
=head1 NOTES
OSSL_ERR_STATE_save() cannot fail as it takes over any allocated
data from the thread error state.
OSSL_ERR_STATE_restore() is a best effort function. The only failure
that can happen during its operation is when memory allocation fails.
Because it manipulates the thread error state it avoids raising memory
errors on such failure. At worst the restored error entries will be
missing the auxiliary error data.
