NAME

       errstr - lookup error codes

SYNOPSIS

       openssl errstr error_code

DESCRIPTION

       Sometimes an application will not load error message and only numerical forms will be
       available. The errstr utility can be used to display the meaning of the hex code. The hex
       code is the hex digits after the second colon.

EXAMPLE

       The error code:

        27594:error:2006D080:lib(32):func(109):reason(128):bss_file.c:107:

       can be displayed with:

        openssl errstr 2006D080

       to produce the error message:

        error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file
