✨ ERR_CLEAR_ERROR 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ERR_CLEAR_ERROR(3SSL) — the littlest OpenSSL page and honestly? it's giving factory reset for your feelings. it's a one-function page, she's short, she's iconic, let's go 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ERR_clear_error — clear the error queue 🧹✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <openssl/err.h>

void ERR_clear_error(void);

no cap, that's the whole thing. one function, zero arguments, zero drama 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, ERR_clear_error() empties the current thread's error queue.

that's it. that's the function. it walks in, grabs this thread's error queue specifically (not anybody else's, she's not messy like that), and yeets every single error sitting in it. all gone. clean slate. main character energy only 🌈

💀 important vibe check: it's the current thread's queue. threads keep their own little pile of errors, so you're only clearing yours, bestie.

🫶 RETURN VALUES 🫶

ERR_clear_error() has no return value. nothing. void. she gives you nothing back and expects nothing in return, which is honestly so generous of her 😭💖
