| 47 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | When a call to the OpenSSL library fails, this is usually signalled | ||
| 50 | by the return value, and an error code is stored in an error queue | ||
| 51 | associated with the current thread. The B<err> library provides | ||
| 52 | functions to obtain these error codes and textual error messages. | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | The L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)> manpage describes how to | ||
| 55 | access error codes. | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | Error codes contain information about where the error occurred, and | ||
| 58 | what went wrong. L<ERR_GET_LIB(3)|ERR_GET_LIB(3)> describes how to | ||
| 59 | extract this information. A method to obtain human-readable error | ||
| 60 | messages is described in L<ERR_error_string(3)|ERR_error_string(3)>. | ||
| 61 | |||
| 62 | L<ERR_clear_error(3)|ERR_clear_error(3)> can be used to clear the | ||
| 63 | error queue. | ||
| 64 | |||
| 65 | Note that L<ERR_remove_state(3)|ERR_remove_state(3)> should be used to | ||
| 66 | avoid memory leaks when threads are terminated. | ||
| 67 | |||
| 68 | =head1 ADDING NEW ERROR CODES TO OPENSSL | ||
| 69 | |||
| 70 | See L<ERR_put_error(3)> if you want to record error codes in the | ||
| 71 | OpenSSL error system from within your application. | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | The remainder of this section is of interest only if you want to add | ||
| 74 | new error codes to OpenSSL or add error codes from external libraries. | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | =head2 Reporting errors | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | Each sub-library has a specific macro XXXerr() that is used to report | ||
| 79 | errors. Its first argument is a function code B<XXX_F_...>, the second | ||
| 80 | argument is a reason code B<XXX_R_...>. Function codes are derived | ||
| 81 | from the function names; reason codes consist of textual error | ||
| 82 | descriptions. For example, the function ssl23_read() reports a | ||
| 83 | "handshake failure" as follows: | ||
| 84 | |||
| 85 | SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL23_READ, SSL_R_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE); | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | Function and reason codes should consist of upper case characters, | ||
| 88 | numbers and underscores only. The error file generation script translates | ||
| 89 | function codes into function names by looking in the header files | ||
| 90 | for an appropriate function name, if none is found it just uses | ||
| 91 | the capitalized form such as "SSL23_READ" in the above example. | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | The trailing section of a reason code (after the "_R_") is translated | ||
| 94 | into lower case and underscores changed to spaces. | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | When you are using new function or reason codes, run B<make errors>. | ||
| 97 | The necessary B<#define>s will then automatically be added to the | ||
| 98 | sub-library's header file. | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | Although a library will normally report errors using its own specific | ||
| 101 | XXXerr macro, another library's macro can be used. This is normally | ||
| 102 | only done when a library wants to include ASN1 code which must use | ||
| 103 | the ASN1err() macro. | ||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | =head2 Adding new libraries | ||
| 106 | |||
| 107 | When adding a new sub-library to OpenSSL, assign it a library number | ||
| 108 | B<ERR_LIB_XXX>, define a macro XXXerr() (both in B<err.h>), add its | ||
| 109 | name to B<ERR_str_libraries[]> (in B<crypto/err/err.c>), and add | ||
| 110 | C<ERR_load_XXX_strings()> to the ERR_load_crypto_strings() function | ||
| 111 | (in B<crypto/err/err_all.c>). Finally, add an entry | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | L XXX xxx.h xxx_err.c | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | to B<crypto/err/openssl.ec>, and add B<xxx_err.c> to the Makefile. | ||
| 116 | Running B<make errors> will then generate a file B<xxx_err.c>, and | ||
| 117 | add all error codes used in the library to B<xxx.h>. | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | Additionally the library include file must have a certain form. | ||
| 120 | Typically it will initially look like this: | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | #ifndef HEADER_XXX_H | ||
| 123 | #define HEADER_XXX_H | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | #ifdef __cplusplus | ||
| 126 | extern "C" { | ||
| 127 | #endif | ||
| 128 | |||
| 129 | /* Include files */ | ||
| 130 | |||
| 131 | #include <openssl/bio.h> | ||
| 132 | #include <openssl/x509.h> | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | /* Macros, structures and function prototypes */ | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | |||
| 137 | /* BEGIN ERROR CODES */ | ||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | The B<BEGIN ERROR CODES> sequence is used by the error code | ||
| 140 | generation script as the point to place new error codes, any text | ||
| 141 | after this point will be overwritten when B<make errors> is run. | ||
| 142 | The closing #endif etc will be automatically added by the script. | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | The generated C error code file B<xxx_err.c> will load the header | ||
| 145 | files B<stdio.h>, B<openssl/err.h> and B<openssl/xxx.h> so the | ||
| 146 | header file must load any additional header files containing any | ||
| 147 | definitions it uses. | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | =head1 USING ERROR CODES IN EXTERNAL LIBRARIES | ||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | It is also possible to use OpenSSL's error code scheme in external | ||
| 152 | libraries. The library needs to load its own codes and call the OpenSSL | ||
| 153 | error code insertion script B<mkerr.pl> explicitly to add codes to | ||
| 154 | the header file and generate the C error code file. This will normally | ||
| 155 | be done if the external library needs to generate new ASN1 structures | ||
| 156 | but it can also be used to add more general purpose error code handling. | ||
| 157 | |||
| 158 | =head1 INTERNALS | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | The error queues are stored in a hash table with one B<ERR_STATE> | ||
| 161 | entry for each pid. ERR_get_state() returns the current thread's | ||
| 162 | B<ERR_STATE>. An B<ERR_STATE> can hold up to B<ERR_NUM_ERRORS> error | ||
| 163 | codes. When more error codes are added, the old ones are overwritten, | ||
| 164 | on the assumption that the most recent errors are most important. | ||
| 165 | |||
| 166 | Error strings are also stored in hash table. The hash tables can | ||
| 167 | be obtained by calling ERR_get_err_state_table(void) and | ||
| 168 | ERR_get_string_table(void) respectively. | ||
