A complete description of +the process is contained in the L manual page. + +=head1 RETURN VALUES + +If a complete chain can be built and validated this function returns 1, +otherwise it return zero, in exceptional circumstances it can also +return a negative code. + +If the function fails additional error information can be obtained by +examining B using, for example X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(). + +=head1 NOTES + +Applications rarely call this function directly but it is used by +OpenSSL internally for certificate validation, in both the S/MIME and +SSL/TLS code. + +A negative return value from X509_verify_cert() can occur if it is invoked +incorrectly, such as with no certificate set in B, or when it is called +twice in succession without reinitialising B for the second call. +A negative return value can also happen due to internal resource problems or if +a retry operation is requested during internal lookups (which never happens +with standard lookup methods). +Applications must check for <= 0 return value on error. + +=head1 BUGS + +This function uses the header B as opposed to most chain verification +functions which use B. + +=head1 SEE ALSO + +L + +=head1 COPYRIGHT + +Copyright 2009-2016 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
