+=head1 NAME
+
+ERR_print_errors, ERR_print_errors_fp - print error messages
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/err.h>
+
+ void ERR_print_errors(BIO *bp);
+ void ERR_print_errors_fp(FILE *fp);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+ERR_print_errors() is a convenience function that prints the error
+strings for all errors that OpenSSL has recorded to B<bp>, thus
+emptying the error queue.
+
+ERR_print_errors_fp() is the same, except that the output goes to a
+B<FILE>.
+
+
+The error strings will have the following format:
+
+ [pid]:error:[error code]:[library name]:[function name]:[reason string]:[file name]:[line]:[optional text message]
+
+I<error code> is an 8 digit hexadecimal number. I<library name>,
+I<function name> and I<reason string> are ASCII text, as is I<optional
+text message> if one was set for the respective error code.
+
+If there is no text string registered for the given error code,
+the error string will contain the numeric code.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+ERR_print_errors() and ERR_print_errors_fp() return no values.
