ERR_error_string_n() is a variant of ERR_error_string() that writes at most len characters (including the terminating 0) and truncates the string if necessary. For ERR_error_string_n(), buf may not be NULL.
The string will have the following format:
error:[error code]:[library name]::[reason string]
error code is an 8 digit hexadecimal number, library name and reason string are ASCII text.
ERR_lib_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the library name and reason string respectively.
If there is no text string registered for the given error code, the error string will contain the numeric code.
ERR_print_errors(3) can be used to print all error codes currently in the queue.
ERR_lib_error_string() and ERR_reason_error_string() return the strings, and NULL if none is registered for the error code.
ERR_func_error_string() returns NULL.
