=head1 DESCRIPTION
-When a call to the OpenSSL library fails, this is usually signalled
+When a call to the OpenSSL library fails, this is usually signaled
by the return value, and an error code is stored in an error queue
associated with the current thread. The B<err> library provides
functions to obtain these error codes and textual error messages.
errors. Its first argument is a function code B<XXX_F_...>, the second
argument is a reason code B<XXX_R_...>. Function codes are derived
from the function names; reason codes consist of textual error
-descriptions. For example, the function ssl23_read() reports a
+descriptions. For example, the function ssl3_read_bytes() reports a
"handshake failure" as follows:
- SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL23_READ, SSL_R_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE);
+ SSLerr(SSL_F_SSL3_READ_BYTES, SSL_R_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE);
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 trailing section of a reason code (after the "_R_") is translated
into lower case and underscores changed to spaces.
