+=head1 NAME
+
+ERR_load_crypto_strings, SSL_load_error_strings, ERR_free_strings -
+load and free error strings
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/err.h>
+
+ void ERR_load_crypto_strings(void);
+ void ERR_free_strings(void);
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ void SSL_load_error_strings(void);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+ERR_load_crypto_strings() registers the error strings for all
+B<libcrypto> functions. SSL_load_error_strings() does the same,
+but also registers the B<libssl> error strings.
+
+One of these functions should be called before generating
+textual error messages. However, this is not required when memory
+usage is an issue.
+
+ERR_free_strings() frees all previously loaded error strings.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+ERR_load_crypto_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings() and
+ERR_free_strings() return no values.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<err(3)|err(3)>, L<ERR_error_string(3)|ERR_error_string(3)>
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+ERR_load_error_strings(), SSL_load_error_strings() and
+ERR_free_strings() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
+OpenSSL.
