=head1 DESCRIPTION

OCSP_resp_find_status() searches B<bs> for an OCSP response for B<id>. If it is
successful the fields of the response are returned in B<*status>, B<*reason>,
B<*revtime>, B<*thisupd> and B<*nextupd>.  The B<*status> value will be one of
B<V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_GOOD>, B<V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_REVOKED> or
B<V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_UNKNOWN>. The B<*reason> and B<*revtime> fields are only
set if the status is B<V_OCSP_CERTSTATUS_REVOKED>. If set the B<*reason> field
will be set to the revocation reason which will be one of
B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_NOSTATUS>, B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED>,
B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_KEYCOMPROMISE>, B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_CACOMPROMISE>,
B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_AFFILIATIONCHANGED>, B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_SUPERSEDED>,
B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_CESSATIONOFOPERATION>,
B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_CERTIFICATEHOLD> or B<OCSP_REVOKED_STATUS_REMOVEFROMCRL>.

OCSP_resp_count() returns the number of B<OCSP_SINGLERESP> structures in B<bs>.

OCSP_resp_get0() returns the B<OCSP_SINGLERESP> structure in B<bs>
corresponding to index B<idx>. Where B<idx> runs from 0 to
OCSP_resp_count(bs) - 1.

OCSP_resp_find() searches B<bs> for B<id> and returns the index of the first
matching entry after B<last> or starting from the beginning if B<last> is -1.

OCSP_single_get0_status() extracts the fields of B<single> in B<*reason>,
B<*revtime>, B<*thisupd> and B<*nextupd>.

OCSP_resp_get0_produced_at() extracts the B<producedAt> field from the
single response B<bs>.

OCSP_check_validity() checks the validity of B<thisupd> and B<nextupd> values
which will be typically obtained from OCSP_resp_find_status() or
OCSP_single_get0_status(). If B<sec> is non-zero it indicates how many seconds
leeway should be allowed in the check. If B<maxsec> is positive it indicates
the maximum age of B<thisupd> in seconds.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

OCSP_resp_find_status() returns 1 if B<id> is found in B<bs> and 0 otherwise.

OCSP_resp_count() returns the total number of B<OCSP_SINGLERESP> fields in
B<bs>.

OCSP_resp_get0() returns a pointer to an B<OCSP_SINGLERESP> structure or
B<NULL> if B<idx> is out of range.

OCSP_resp_find() returns the index of B<id> in B<bs> (which may be 0) or -1 if
B<id> was not found.

OCSP_single_get0_status() returns the status of B<single> or -1 if an error
occurred.

=head1 NOTES

Applications will typically call OCSP_resp_find_status() using the certificate
ID of interest and then check its validity using OCSP_check_validity(). They
can then take appropriate action based on the status of the certificate.

An OCSP response for a certificate contains B<thisUpdate> and B<nextUpdate>
fields. Normally the current time should be between these two values. To
account for clock skew the B<maxsec> field can be set to non-zero in
OCSP_check_validity(). Some responders do not set the B<nextUpdate> field, this
would otherwise mean an ancient response would be considered valid: the
B<maxsec> parameter to OCSP_check_validity() can be used to limit the permitted
age of responses.

The values written to B<*revtime>, B<*thisupd> and B<*nextupd> by
OCSP_resp_find_status() and OCSP_single_get0_status() are internal pointers
which B<MUST NOT> be freed up by the calling application. Any or all of these
parameters can be set to NULL if their value is not required.
