Both function are to be used like there Standard-C
counterparts. However <function>gcry_errno</function> is a function
and not just a global variable. If -1 is passed to
<function>gcry_strerror</>, <function>gcry_errno</> is implictly used.

At certain places the &libgcrypt; may need to call a fatal error fucntion
which does terminate the process. To allow an application to do
some emergency cleanup, it may register a fatal error handler with
the library. This handler is assumed to terminate the application;
however if it returns &libgcrypt; will abort anyway.
</para>
<para>
The handler is called with the opaque value registered here, an
errorcode from &libgcrypt; and some descriptive text string.

need to use their own, should provide a log function to &libgcrypt;
