SSL_get_verify_result(3)
NAME
  SSL_get_verify_result - Get result of peer certificate verification

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/ssl.h>

  long SSL_get_verify_result(
	  SSL *ssl );

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

NOTES
  The SSL_get_verify_result() function 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 SSL_get_verify_result().

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

RESTRICTIONS
  If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is
  X509_V_OK.  This is because no verification error occurred; it does not
  indicate success.  The SSL_get_verify_result() function is only useful in
  connection with the SSL_get_peer_certificate() function.

RETURN VALUES
  The following return values can currently occur:

  X509_V_OK
	  The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.

  Any other value
	  Documented in verify(1).

SEE ALSO
  Commands: verify(1)

  Functions: ssl(3), SSL_set_verify_result(3), SSL_get_peer_certificate(3),
