29=head1 DESCRIPTION
30
31ERR_get_error() returns the earliest error code from the thread's error
32queue and removes the entry. This function can be called repeatedly
33until there are no more error codes to return.
34
35ERR_peek_error() returns the earliest error code from the thread's
36error queue without modifying it.
37
38ERR_peek_last_error() returns the latest error code from the thread's
39error queue without modifying it.
40
41See L<ERR_GET_LIB(3)|ERR_GET_LIB(3)> for obtaining information about
42location and reason of the error, and
43L<ERR_error_string(3)|ERR_error_string(3)> for human-readable error
44messages.
45
46ERR_get_error_line(), ERR_peek_error_line() and
47ERR_peek_last_error_line() are the same as the above, but they
48additionally store the file name and line number where
49the error occurred in *B<file> and *B<line>, unless these are B<NULL>.
50
51ERR_get_error_line_data(), ERR_peek_error_line_data() and
52ERR_get_last_error_line_data() store additional data and flags
53associated with the error code in *B<data>
54and *B<flags>, unless these are B<NULL>. *B<data> contains a string
55if *B<flags>&B<ERR_TXT_STRING>. If it has been allocated by OPENSSL_malloc(),
56*B<flags>&B<ERR_TXT_MALLOCED> is true.
57
58=head1 RETURN VALUES
59
60The error code, or 0 if there is no error in the queue.

67=head1 HISTORY
68
69ERR_get_error(), ERR_peek_error(), ERR_get_error_line() and
70ERR_peek_error_line() are available in all versions of SSLeay and
71OpenSSL. ERR_get_error_line_data() and ERR_peek_error_line_data()
72were added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
73ERR_peek_last_error(), ERR_peek_last_error_line() and
74ERR_peek_last_error_line_data() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7.
