 generate human-readable error messages for the error code.

+.Pp
+Each sub-library has a specific macro
+.Fn XXXerr f r
+that is used to report errors.
+Its first argument is a function code
+.Dv XXX_F_* ;
+the second argument is a reason code
+.Dv XXX_R_* .
+Function codes are derived from the function names
+whereas reason codes consist of textual error descriptions.
+For example, the function
+.Fn ssl23_read
+reports a "handshake failure" as follows:
+.Pp
+.Dl SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL23_READ, SSL_R_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE);
+.Pp
+Function and reason codes should consist of upper case characters,
+numbers and underscores only.
+The error file generation script translates function codes into function
+names by looking in the header files for an appropriate function name.
+If none is found it just uses the capitalized form such as "SSL23_READ"
+in the above example.
+.Pp
+The trailing section of a reason code (after the "_R_") is translated
+into lower case and underscores changed to spaces.
+.Pp
+Although a library will normally report errors using its own specific
+.Fn XXXerr
+macro, another library's macro can be used.
+This is normally only done when a library wants to include ASN.1 code
+which must use the
+.Fn ASN1err
+macro.
