     SSL_get_verify_result(30.9.6h (2001-02-15SSL_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
          SSL_get_verify_result() returns the result of the
          verification of the X509 certificate presented by the peer,
          if any.

     NOTES
          SSL_get_verify_result() 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.

     BUGS
          If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result
          code is X509_V_OK. This is because no verification error
          occurred, it does however not indicate success.
          SSL_get_verify_result() is only useful in connection with
          SSL_get_peer_certificate(3).

     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).
