SSLgetverifyresult(3) OpenSSL SSLgetverifyresult(3)

NAME
       SSLgetverifyresult - get result of peer certificate verification

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        long SSLgetverifyresult(const SSL *ssl);

DESCRIPTION
       SSLgetverifyresult() returns the result of the verification of the
       X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.

NNOOTTEESS
       SSLgetverifyresult() can only return one error code while the
       verification of a certificate can fail because of many reasons at the
       same time. Only the last verification error that occurred during the
       processing is available from SSLgetverifyresult().

       The verification result is part of the established session and is
       restored when a session is reused.

BUGS
       If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is
       X509VOK. This is because no verification error occurred, it does
       however not indicate success. SSLgetverifyresult() is only useful in
       connection with SSLgetpeercertificate(3).

RETURN VALUES
       The following return values can currently occur:

       X509VOK
           The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.

       Any other value
           Documented in verify(1).
