.SH "NAME"
tlsrpt_strerror \- returns a static string describing the error
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
#include <tlsrpt.h>
.sp
const char* tlsrpt_strerror(int errorcode)
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
The \f(CRtlsrpt_strerror\fP function returns a static string describing the error.
If the error is not an internal error (\f(CRtlsrpt_error_code_is_internal\fP returns 0 in that case), the text describes the C library function that gave an error and for C library functions that get called from different places within the TLSRPT library, the calling function is mentioned in the description.
The actual error has to be retrieved from the C library via the \f(CRstrerror\fP function or its altrnatives.
The errno value to be passed into the \f(CRstrerror\fP function must be extracted from the error code via the \f(CRtlsrpt_errno_from_error_code\fP function.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.sp
The tlsrpt_strerror function returns a static string describing the error.
