NAME
ERR_remove_thread_state, ERR_remove_state - free a thread's error queue
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/err.h>
void ERR_remove_thread_state(const CRYPTO_THREADID *tid);
Deprecated:
void ERR_remove_state(unsigned long pid);
DESCRIPTION
ERR_remove_thread_state() frees the error queue associated with thread
tid. If
tid ==
NULL, the current thread will have its
error queue removed.
Since error queue data structures are allocated automatically for new threads,
they must be freed when threads are terminated in order to avoid memory leaks.
ERR_remove_state is deprecated and has been replaced by ERR_remove_thread_state.
Since threads in OpenSSL are no longer identified by unsigned long values any
argument to this function is ignored. Calling ERR_remove_state is equivalent
to
ERR_remove_thread_state(NULL).
RETURN VALUE
ERR_remove_thread_state and
ERR_remove_state() return no value.

HISTORY
ERR_remove_state() is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. It
was deprecated in OpenSSL 1.0.0 when ERR_remove_thread_state was introduced
and thread IDs were introduced to identify threads instead of 'unsigned
long'.
