  76. .SH DESCRIPTION
  77. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  78. The functions described here are generally not used directly, but
  79. rather through macros such as \fBERR_raise\fR\|(3).
  80. They can still be useful for anyone that wants to make their own
  81. macros.
  82. .PP
  83. \&\fBERR_new()\fR allocates a new slot in the thread's error queue.
  84. .PP
  85. \&\fBERR_set_debug()\fR sets the debug information related to the current
  86. error in the thread's error queue.
  87. The values that can be given are the filename \fIfile\fR, line in the
  88. file \fIline\fR and the name of the function \fIfunc\fR where the error
  89. occurred.
  90. The names must be constant, this function will only save away the
  91. pointers, not copy the strings.
  92. .PP
  93. \&\fBERR_set_error()\fR sets the error information, which are the library
  94. number \fIlib\fR and the reason code \fIreason\fR, and additional data as a
  95. format string \fIfmt\fR and an arbitrary number of arguments.
  96. The additional data is processed with \fBBIO_snprintf\fR\|(3) to form the
  97. additional data string, which is allocated and store in the error
  98. record.
  99. .PP
  100. \&\fBERR_vset_error()\fR works like \fBERR_set_error()\fR, but takes a \fBva_list\fR
  101. argument instead of a variable number of arguments.
  102. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  103. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  104. ERR_new, ERR_set_debug, ERR_set_error and ERR_vset_error
  105. do not return any values.
  106. .SH NOTES
  107. .IX Header "NOTES"
  108. The library number is unique to each unit that records errors.
  109. OpenSSL has a number of preallocated ones for its own uses, but
  110. others may allocate their own library number dynamically with
  111. \&\fBERR_get_next_error_library\fR\|(3).
  112. .PP
  113. Reason codes are unique within each library, and may have an
  114. associated set of strings as a short description of the reason.
  115. For dynamically allocated library numbers, reason strings are recorded
  116. with \fBERR_load_strings\fR\|(3).
  117. .PP
  118. Provider authors are supplied with core versions of these functions,
  119. see \fBprovider\-base\fR\|(7).
