| 110 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
| 111 | When a call to the OpenSSL library fails, this is usually signalled by | ||
| 112 | the return value, and an error code is stored in an error queue | ||
| 113 | associated with the current thread. | ||
| 114 | The | ||
| 115 | .Nm | ||
| 116 | library provides functions to obtain these error codes and textual error | ||
| 117 | messages. | ||
| 118 | The | ||
| 119 | .Xr ERR_get_error 3 | ||
| 120 | manpage describes how to access error codes. | ||
| 121 | .Pp | ||
| 122 | Error codes contain information about where the error occurred, and what | ||
| 123 | went wrong. | ||
| 124 | .Xr ERR_GET_LIB 3 | ||
| 125 | describes how to extract this information. | ||
| 126 | A method to obtain human-readable error messages is described in | ||
| 127 | .Xr ERR_error_string 3 . | ||
| 128 | .Pp | ||
| 129 | .Xr ERR_clear_error 3 | ||
| 130 | can be used to clear the error queue. | ||
| 131 | .Pp | ||
| 132 | Note that | ||
| 133 | .Xr ERR_remove_state 3 | ||
| 134 | should be used to avoid memory leaks when threads are terminated. | ||
| 135 | .Sh ADDING NEW ERROR CODES TO OPENSSL | ||
| 136 | See | ||
| 137 | .Xr ERR_put_error 3 | ||
| 138 | if you want to record error codes in the OpenSSL error system from | ||
| 139 | within your application. | ||
| 140 | .Pp | ||
| 141 | The remainder of this section is of interest only if you want to add new | ||
| 142 | error codes to OpenSSL or add error codes from external libraries. | ||
| 143 | .Ss Reporting errors | ||
| 144 | Each sub-library has a specific macro | ||
| 145 | .Fn XXXerr f r | ||
| 146 | that is used to report errors. | ||
| 147 | Its first argument is a function code | ||
| 148 | .Dv XXX_F_* , | ||
| 149 | the second argument is a reason code | ||
| 150 | .Dv XXX_R_* . | ||
| 151 | Function codes are derived from the function names; reason codes consist | ||
| 152 | of textual error descriptions. | ||
| 153 | For example, the function | ||
| 154 | .Fn ssl23_read | ||
| 155 | reports a "handshake failure" as follows: | ||
| 156 | .Pp | ||
| 157 | .Dl SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL23_READ, SSL_R_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE); | ||
| 158 | .Pp | ||
| 159 | Function and reason codes should consist of upper case characters, | ||
| 160 | numbers and underscores only. | ||
| 161 | The error file generation script translates function codes into function | ||
| 162 | names by looking in the header files for an appropriate function name, | ||
| 163 | if none is found it just uses the capitalized form such as "SSL23_READ" | ||
| 164 | in the above example. | ||
| 165 | .Pp | ||
| 166 | The trailing section of a reason code (after the "_R_") is translated | ||
| 167 | into lower case and underscores changed to spaces. | ||
| 168 | .Pp | ||
| 169 | When you are using new function or reason codes, run | ||
| 170 | .Sy make errors . | ||
| 171 | The necessary | ||
| 172 | .Sy #define Ns s | ||
| 173 | will then automatically be added to the sub-library's header file. | ||
| 174 | .Pp | ||
| 175 | Although a library will normally report errors using its own specific | ||
| 176 | .Fn XXXerr | ||
| 177 | macro, another library's macro can be used. | ||
| 178 | This is normally only done when a library wants to include ASN1 code | ||
| 179 | which must use the | ||
| 180 | .Fn ASN1err | ||
| 181 | macro. | ||
| 182 | .Ss Adding new libraries | ||
| 183 | When adding a new sub-library to OpenSSL, assign it a library number | ||
| 184 | .Dv ERR_LIB_XXX , | ||
| 185 | define a macro | ||
| 186 | .Fn XXXerr | ||
| 187 | (both in | ||
| 188 | .In openssl/err.h ) , | ||
| 189 | add its name to | ||
| 190 | .Va ERR_str_libraries[] | ||
| 191 | (in | ||
| 192 | .Pa /usr/src/lib/libcrypto/err/err.c ) , | ||
| 193 | and add | ||
| 194 | .Fn ERR_load_XXX_strings | ||
| 195 | to the | ||
| 196 | .Fn ERR_load_crypto_strings | ||
| 197 | function (in | ||
| 198 | .Sy /usr/src/lib/libcrypto/err/err_all.c ) . | ||
| 199 | Finally, add an entry | ||
| 200 | .Pp | ||
| 201 | .Dl L XXX xxx.h xxx_err.c | ||
| 202 | .Pp | ||
| 203 | to | ||
| 204 | .Sy /usr/src/lib/libcrypto/err/openssl.ec , | ||
| 205 | and add | ||
| 206 | .Pa xxx_err.c | ||
| 207 | to the | ||
| 208 | .Pa Makefile . | ||
| 209 | Running | ||
| 210 | .Sy make errors | ||
| 211 | will then generate a file | ||
| 212 | .Pa xxx_err.c , | ||
| 213 | and add all error codes used in the library to | ||
| 214 | .Pa xxx.h . | ||
| 215 | .Pp | ||
| 216 | Additionally the library include file must have a certain form. | ||
| 217 | Typically it will initially look like this: | ||
| 218 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
| 219 | #ifndef HEADER_XXX_H | ||
| 220 | #define HEADER_XXX_H | ||
| 221 | |||
| 222 | #ifdef __cplusplus | ||
| 223 | extern "C" { | ||
| 224 | #endif | ||
| 225 | |||
| 226 | /* Include files */ | ||
| 227 | |||
| 228 | #include <openssl/bio.h> | ||
| 229 | #include <openssl/x509.h> | ||
| 230 | |||
| 231 | /* Macros, structures and function prototypes */ | ||
| 232 | |||
| 233 | /* BEGIN ERROR CODES */ | ||
| 234 | .Ed | ||
| 235 | .Pp | ||
| 236 | The | ||
| 237 | .Sy BEGIN ERROR CODES | ||
| 238 | sequence is used by the error code generation script as the point to | ||
| 239 | place new error codes, any text after this point will be overwritten | ||
| 240 | when | ||
| 241 | .Sy make errors | ||
| 242 | is run. | ||
| 243 | The closing #endif etc. will be automatically added by the script. | ||
| 244 | .Pp | ||
| 245 | The generated C error code file | ||
| 246 | .Pa xxx_err.c | ||
| 247 | will load the header files | ||
| 248 | .In stdio.h , | ||
| 249 | .In openssl/err.h | ||
| 250 | and | ||
| 251 | .In openssl/xxx.h | ||
| 252 | so the header file must load any additional header files containing any | ||
| 253 | definitions it uses. | ||
| 254 | .Sh USING ERROR CODES IN EXTERNAL LIBRARIES | ||
| 255 | It is also possible to use OpenSSL's error code scheme in external | ||
| 256 | libraries. | ||
| 257 | The library needs to load its own codes and call the OpenSSL error code | ||
| 258 | insertion script | ||
| 259 | .Pa mkerr.pl | ||
| 260 | explicitly to add codes to the header file and generate the C error code | ||
| 261 | file. | ||
| 262 | This will normally be done if the external library needs to generate new | ||
| 263 | ASN1 structures but it can also be used to add more general purpose | ||
| 264 | error code handling. | ||
| 265 | .Sh INTERNALS | ||
| 266 | The error queues are stored in a hash table with one | ||
| 267 | .Vt ERR_STATE | ||
| 268 | entry for each pid. | ||
| 269 | .Fn ERR_get_state | ||
| 270 | returns the current thread's | ||
| 271 | .Vt ERR_STATE . | ||
| 272 | An | ||
| 273 | .Vt ERR_STATE | ||
| 274 | can hold up to | ||
| 275 | .Dv ERR_NUM_ERRORS | ||
| 276 | error codes. | ||
| 277 | When more error codes are added, the old ones are overwritten, on the | ||
| 278 | assumption that the most recent errors are most important. | ||
| 279 | .Pp | ||
| 280 | Error strings are also stored in hash table. | ||
| 281 | The hash tables can be obtained by calling | ||
| 282 | .Fn ERR_get_err_state_table | ||
| 283 | and | ||
| 284 | .Fn ERR_get_string_table . | ||
