3.5.0                                              2025-06-04                             ERR_ERROR_STRING(3SSL)

ERR_error_string() generates a human-readable string representing the error code e, and places it at buf.
       buf must be at least 256 bytes long. If buf is NULL, 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
       ERR_error_string_n() instead.

       ERR_error_string_n() is a variant of ERR_error_string() that writes at most len characters (including the
       terminating 0) and truncates the string if necessary.  For ERR_error_string_n(), bufMUSTNOT be NULL.

       The string will have the following format:

        error:[error code]:[library name]::[reason string]

       errorcode is an 8 digit hexadecimal number, libraryname and reasonstring are ASCII text.

       ERR_lib_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the library name and reason string
       respectively.

       If there is no text string registered for the given error code, the error string will contain the numeric
       code.

       ERR_print_errors(3) can be used to print all error codes currently in the queue.

ERR_func_error_string() became deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.

ERR_error_string() returns a pointer to a static buffer containing the string if buf==NULL, buf
       otherwise.

       ERR_lib_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the strings, and NULL if none is registered
       for the error code.

       ERR_func_error_string() returns NULL.
