.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The error code returned by \fBERR_get_error()\fR consists of a library
number, function code and reason code. \fBERR_GET_LIB()\fR, \fBERR_GET_FUNC()\fR
and \fBERR_GET_REASON()\fR can be used to extract these.
.PP
The library number and function code describe where the error
occurred, the reason code is the information about what went wrong.
.PP
Each sub-library of OpenSSL has a unique library number; function and
reason codes are unique within each sub-library.  Note that different
libraries may use the same value to signal different functions and
reasons.
.PP
\&\fBERR_R_...\fR reason codes such as \fBERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE\fR are globally
unique. However, when checking for sub-library specific reason codes,
be sure to also compare the library number.
.PP
\&\fBERR_GET_LIB()\fR, \fBERR_GET_FUNC()\fR and \fBERR_GET_REASON()\fR are macros.
