<P>
<CODE>ERR_print_errors()</CODE> is a convenience function that prints the
error strings for all errors that OpenSSL has recorded to <STRONG>bp</STRONG>, thus emptying the error queue.

</P>
<P>
<CODE>ERR_print_errors_fp()</CODE> is the same, except that the output goes
to a
<STRONG>FILE</STRONG>.

</P>
<P>
The error strings will have the following format:

</P>
<PRE> [pid]:error:[error code]:[library name]:[function name]:[reason string]:[file name]:[line]:[optional text message]
</PRE>
<P>
<EM>error code</EM> is an 8 digit hexadecimal number. <EM>library name</EM>,
<EM>function name</EM> and <EM>reason string</EM> are ASCII text, as is <EM>optional
text message</EM> if one was set for the respective error code.

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