SSL_CTX_set_purpose(3)
NAME
  SSL_CTX_set_purpose - Set a purpose value to the SSL_CTX structure

SYNOPSIS
  #include <openssl/ssl.h>
  #include <openssl/x509v3.h>(to use the macros for purpose values)

  int SSL_CTX_set_purpose(
	  SSL_CTX *s,
	  int purpose );

DESCRIPTION
  The SSL_CTX_set_purpose() function sets a purpose value in the SSL_CTX
  structure.  The purpose values and their macros are defined in x509v3.h as
  follows:

       #define X509_PURPOSE_SSL_CLIENT 1
       #define X509_PURPOSE_SSL_SERVER 2
       #define X509_PURPOSE_NS_SSL_SERVER 3
       #define X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_SIGN 4
       #define X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_ENCRYPT 5
       #define X509_PURPOSE_CRL_SIGN 6
       #define X509_PURPOSE_ANY 7

  The purpose value must be between 1 and 7. If an out-of-range value is
  passed, the SSL_CTX_set_purpose() function returns 0. Upon success, 1 is
  returned.

RETURN VALUES
  The following return values can occur:

  0	  Seting the purpose value in the SSL_CTX structure was failed.

  1	  The purpose value was successfully set in the SSL_CTX structure.
