+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/err.h>
+
+ unsigned long ERR_get_error(void);
+ unsigned long ERR_peek_error(void);
+ unsigned long ERR_peek_last_error(void);
+
+ unsigned long ERR_get_error_line(const char **file, int *line);
+ unsigned long ERR_peek_error_line(const char **file, int *line);
+ unsigned long ERR_peek_last_error_line(const char **file, int *line);
+
+ unsigned long ERR_get_error_line_data(const char **file, int *line,
+         const char **data, int *flags);
+ unsigned long ERR_peek_error_line_data(const char **file, int *line,
+         const char **data, int *flags);
+ unsigned long ERR_peek_last_error_line_data(const char **file, int *line,
+         const char **data, int *flags);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+ERR_get_error() returns the earliest error code from the thread's error
+queue and removes the entry. This function can be called repeatedly
+until there are no more error codes to return.
+
+ERR_peek_error() returns the earliest error code from the thread's
+error queue without modifying it.
+
+ERR_peek_last_error() returns the latest error code from the thread's
+error queue without modifying it.
+
+See L<ERR_GET_LIB(3)|ERR_GET_LIB(3)> for obtaining information about
+location and reason of the error, and
+L<ERR_error_string(3)|ERR_error_string(3)> for human-readable error
+messages.
+
+ERR_get_error_line(), ERR_peek_error_line() and
+ERR_peek_last_error_line() are the same as the above, but they
+additionally store the file name and line number where
+the error occurred in *B<file> and *B<line>, unless these are B<NULL>.
+
+ERR_get_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_error_line_data() and
+ERR_get_last_error_line_data() store additional data and flags
+associated with the error code in *B<data>
+and *B<flags>, unless these are B<NULL>. *B<data> contains a string
+if *B<flags>&B<ERR_TXT_STRING>. If it has been allocated by OPENSSL_malloc(),
+*B<flags>&B<ERR_TXT_MALLOCED> is true.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+The error code, or 0 if there is no error in the queue.

+=head1 HISTORY
+
+ERR_get_error(), ERR_peek_error(), ERR_get_error_line() and
+ERR_peek_error_line() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
+OpenSSL. ERR_get_error_line_data() and ERR_peek_error_line_data()
+were added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
+ERR_peek_last_error(), ERR_peek_last_error_line() and
+ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
