+ *
+ * The defined parameter validation level for the library. This configuration
+ * controls whether the library validates parameters passed to it.
+ *
+ * Application code that deals with 3rd party input may wish to enable such
+ * validation, whilst code on closed systems, such as embedded systems, where
+ * the input is controlled and predictable, may wish to disable it entirely to
+ * reduce the code size of the library.
+ *
+ * When the symbol is not defined, no parameter validation except that required
+ * to ensure the integrity or security of the library are performed.
+ *
+ * When the symbol is defined, all parameters will be validated, and an error
+ * code returned where appropriate.
