Rich Salz 3dfda1a636 Fix various doc nits.
find-doc-nits warns if you don't give a "what to do flag"
Don't use regexps for section names, just strings:  More consistency.
Rename "COMMAND OPTIONS" to OPTIONS.
Fix a couple of other nit-level things.

=head1 NAME
ERR_GET_LIB, ERR_GET_FUNC, ERR_GET_REASON, ERR_FATAL_ERROR
- get information from error codes
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/err.h>
int ERR_GET_LIB(unsigned long e);
int ERR_GET_FUNC(unsigned long e);
int ERR_GET_REASON(unsigned long e);
int ERR_FATAL_ERROR(unsigned long e);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The error code returned by ERR_get_error() consists of a library
number, function code and reason code. ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC()
and ERR_GET_REASON() can be used to extract these.
ERR_FATAL_ERROR() indicates whether a given error code is a fatal error.
The library number and function code describe where the error
occurred, the reason code is the information about what went wrong.
Each sub-library of OpenSSL has a unique library number; function and
reason codes are unique within each sub-library. Note that different
libraries may use the same value to signal different functions and
reasons.
B<ERR_R_...> reason codes such as B<ERR_R_MALLOC_FAILURE> are globally
unique. However, when checking for sub-library specific reason codes,
be sure to also compare the library number.
ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC(), ERR_GET_REASON(), and ERR_FATAL_ERROR()
are macros.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
The library number, function code, reason code, and whether the error
is fatal, respectively.
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<err(7)>, L<ERR_get_error(3)>
=head1 HISTORY
ERR_GET_LIB(), ERR_GET_FUNC() and ERR_GET_REASON() are available in
all versions of OpenSSL.
