=head1 NAME
ERR_GET_LIB, 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_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 and reason code. ERR_GET_LIB()
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 describes where the error
occurred, the reason code is the information about what went wrong.
Each sub-library of OpenSSL has a unique library number; the
reason code is unique within each sub-library. Note that different
libraries may use the same value to signal different 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_REASON(), and ERR_FATAL_ERROR() are macros.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The library number, reason code, and whether the error
is fatal, respectively.
Starting with OpenSSL 3.0.0, the function code is always set to zero.
=head1 NOTES
Applications should not make control flow decisions based on specific error
codes. Error codes are subject to change at any time (even in patch releases of
OpenSSL). A particular error code can only be considered meaningful for control
flow decisions if it is explicitly documented as such. New failure codes may
still appear at any time.

L<ERR_get_error(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
ERR_GET_LIB() and ERR_GET_REASON() are available in all versions of OpenSSL.
ERR_GET_FUNC() was removed in OpenSSL 3.0.
