gsk_strerror()

Return a text string for an SSL error code

Format

   #include <gskssl.h>

   const char * gsk_strerror ( 
                               gsk_status         error_code)

Parameters

error_code: Specifies an error code returned by a Secure Sockets layer (SSL) routine or by a Certificate Management Services (CMS) routine.

Results

The function return value is the address of the text string. The return value is always a valid text string address even when the error code is not recognized (the return value is the string "N/A" in this case).

Usage

The gsk_strerror() routine returns a text string describing an error code returned by an SSL (Secure Sockets layer) or CMS (Certificate Management Services) routine. The gsk_strerror() routine cannot be used to return a text string for an error code returned by one of the deprecated SSL routines. The text string must not be modified or released by the application program.
