=head1 DESCRIPTION
+All of the following functions are deprecated from OpenSSL 1.1.0. No explicit
+initialisation or de-initialisation is necessary. See L<OPENSSL_init_crypto(3)>
+and L<OPENSSL_init_ssl(3)>.
+
ERR_load_crypto_strings() registers the error strings for all
B<libcrypto> functions. SSL_load_error_strings() does the same,
but also registers the B<libssl> error strings.
-One of these functions should be called before generating
-textual error messages. However, this is not required when memory
-usage is an issue.
-
-ERR_free_strings() frees all previously loaded error strings.
+In versions of OpenSSL prior to 1.1.0 ERR_free_strings() freed all previously
+loaded error strings. However from OpenSSL 1.1.0 it does nothing.
