  113. .SH DESCRIPTION
  114. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  115. \&\fBERR_get_error()\fR returns the earliest error code from the thread's error
  116. queue and removes the entry. This function can be called repeatedly
  117. until there are no more error codes to return.
  118. .PP
  119. \&\fBERR_peek_error()\fR returns the earliest error code from the thread's
  120. error queue without modifying it.
  121. .PP
  122. \&\fBERR_peek_last_error()\fR returns the latest error code from the thread's
  123. error queue without modifying it.
  124. .PP
  125. See \fBERR_GET_LIB\fR\|(3) for obtaining further specific information
  126. such as the reason of the error,
  127. and \fBERR_error_string\fR\|(3) for human-readable error messages.
  128. .PP
  129. \&\fBERR_get_error_all()\fR is the same as \fBERR_get_error()\fR, but on success it
  130. additionally stores the filename, line number and function where the error
  131. occurred in *\fIfile\fR, *\fIline\fR and *\fIfunc\fR, and also extra text and flags
  132. in *\fIdata\fR, *\fIflags\fR. If any of those parameters are NULL, it will not
  133. be changed.
  134. An unset filename is indicated as "", i.e. an empty string.
  135. An unset line number is indicated as 0.
  136. An unset function name is indicated as "", i.e. an empty string.
  137. .PP
  138. A pointer returned this way by these functions and the ones below
  139. is valid until the respective entry is overwritten in the error queue.
  140. .PP
  141. \&\fBERR_peek_error_line()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error_line()\fR are the same as
  142. \&\fBERR_peek_error()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error()\fR, but on success they additionally
  143. store the filename and line number where the error occurred in *\fIfile\fR and
  144. *\fIline\fR, as far as they are not NULL.
  145. An unset filename is indicated as "", i.e., an empty string.
  146. An unset line number is indicated as 0.
  147. .PP
  148. \&\fBERR_peek_error_func()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error_func()\fR are the same as
  149. \&\fBERR_peek_error()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error()\fR, but on success they additionally
  150. store the name of the function where the error occurred in *\fIfunc\fR, unless
  151. it is NULL.
  152. An unset function name is indicated as "".
  153. .PP
  154. \&\fBERR_peek_error_data()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error_data()\fR are the same as
  155. \&\fBERR_peek_error()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error()\fR, but on success they additionally
  156. store additional data and flags associated with the error code in *\fIdata\fR
  157. and *\fIflags\fR, as far as they are not NULL.
  158. Unset data is indicated as "".
  159. In this case the value given for the flag is irrelevant (and equals 0).
  160. *\fIdata\fR contains a string if *\fIflags\fR&\fBERR_TXT_STRING\fR is true.
  161. .PP
  162. \&\fBERR_peek_error_all()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error_all()\fR are combinations of all
  163. of the above.
  164. .PP
  165. \&\fBERR_get_error_line()\fR, \fBERR_get_error_line_data()\fR, \fBERR_peek_error_line_data()\fR
  166. and \fBERR_peek_last_error_line_data()\fR are older variants of \fBERR_get_error_all()\fR,
  167. \&\fBERR_peek_error_all()\fR and \fBERR_peek_last_error_all()\fR, and may give confusing
  168. results. They should no longer be used and are therefore deprecated.
  169. .PP
  170. An application \fBMUST NOT\fR free the *\fIdata\fR pointer (or any other pointers
  171. returned by these functions) with \fBOPENSSL_free()\fR as freeing is handled
  172. automatically by the error library.
