<CODE>ERR_put_error()</CODE> adds an error code to the thread's error
queue. It signals that the error of reason code <STRONG>reason</STRONG> occurred in function
<STRONG>func</STRONG> of library <STRONG>lib</STRONG>, in line number <STRONG>line</STRONG> of <STRONG>file</STRONG>. This function is usually called by a macro.

<P>
<CODE>ERR_add_error_data()</CODE> associates the concatenation of its <STRONG>num</STRONG> string arguments with the error code added last.
