CDSA API Errors

When CDSA functions do not complete their designated operations successfully, typically, 0,

NULL, CSSM_FAIL, or CSSM_FALSE values may be returned to calling programs. In order

to gain more information regarding the failure, the CDSA function CSSM_GetError() may be

called to retrieve the error code of the last CDSA error detected by the system. The error

codes are deﬁned in the CDSA include ﬁle cssmerr.h (located in /usr/include/cdsa). A brief

error description and corresponding error code are reproduced below for convenience.
