=head1 NAME

ERR_GET_LIB, ERR_GET_FUNC, ERR_GET_REASON, ERR_FATAL_ERROR
- get information from error codes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/err.h>

 int ERR_GET_LIB(unsigned long e);

 int ERR_GET_FUNC(unsigned long e);

 int ERR_GET_REASON(unsigned long e);

 int ERR_FATAL_ERROR(unsigned long e);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The error code returned by ERR_get_error() consists of a library
number, function code and reason code. ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC()
and ERR_GET_REASON() can be used to extract these.

ERR_FATAL_ERROR() indicates whether a given error code is a fatal error.

The library number and function code describe where the error
occurred, the reason code is the information about what went wrong.

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.

B<ERR_R_...> reason codes such as B<ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE> are globally
unique. However, when checking for sub-library specific reason codes,
be sure to also compare the library number.

ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC(), ERR_GET_REASON(), and ERR_FATAL_ERROR()
are macros.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

The library number, function code, reason code, and whether the error
is fatal, respectively.
Starting with OpenSSL 3.0.0, the function code is always set to zero.

all versions of OpenSSL.
