 =head1 DESCRIPTION

 These functions are typically called after X509_verify_cert() has indicated
 an error or in a verification callback to determine the nature of an error.

 X509_STORE_CTX_get_error() returns the error code of B<ctx>, see
 the B<ERROR CODES> section for a full description of all error codes.

 X509_STORE_CTX_set_error() sets the error code of B<ctx> to B<s>. For example
 it might be used in a verification callback to set an error based on additional
 checks.

 X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth() returns the B<depth> of the error. This is a
 non-negative integer representing where in the certificate chain the error
 occurred. If it is zero it occurred in the end entity certificate, one if
 it is the certificate which signed the end entity certificate and so on.

 X509_STORE_CTX_set_error_depth() sets the error B<depth>.
 This can be used in combination with X509_STORE_CTX_set_error() to set the
 depth at which an error condition was detected.

 X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() returns the certificate in B<ctx> which
 caused the error or B<NULL> if no certificate is relevant.

 X509_STORE_CTX_set_current_cert() sets the certificate B<x> in B<ctx> which
 caused the error.
 This value is not intended to remain valid for very long, and remains owned by
 the caller.
 It may be examined by a verification callback invoked to handle each error
 encountered during chain verification and is no longer required after such a
 callback.
 If a callback wishes the save the certificate for use after it returns, it
 needs to increment its reference count via L<X509_up_ref(3)>.
 Once such a I<saved> certificate is no longer needed it can be freed with
 L<X509_free(3)>.

 X509_STORE_CTX_get0_cert() retrieves an internal pointer to the
 certificate being verified by the B<ctx>.

 X509_STORE_CTX_get1_chain() returns a complete validate chain if a previous
 call to X509_verify_cert() is successful. If the call to X509_verify_cert()
 is B<not> successful the returned chain may be incomplete or invalid. The
 returned chain persists after the B<ctx> structure is freed, when it is
 no longer needed it should be free up using:

   sk_X509_pop_free(chain, X509_free);

 X509_verify_cert_error_string() returns a human readable error string for
 verification error B<n>.

 =head1 RETURN VALUES

 X509_STORE_CTX_get_error() returns B<X509_V_OK> or an error code.

 X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth() returns a non-negative error depth.

 X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() returns the certificate which caused the
 error or B<NULL> if no certificate is relevant to the error.

 X509_verify_cert_error_string() returns a human readable error string for
 verification error B<n>.

 =head1 ERROR CODES

 A list of error codes and messages is shown below.  Some of the
 error codes are defined but currently never returned: these are described as
 "unused".

 signature value could not be determined rather than it not matching the
 expected value, this is only meaningful for RSA keys.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_DECRYPT_CRL_SIGNATURE: unable to decrypt CRL's signature>

 the CRL signature could not be decrypted: this means that the actual signature
 value could not be determined rather than it not matching the expected value.

 the signature of the certificate is invalid.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_CRL_SIGNATURE_FAILURE: CRL signature failure>

 the signature of the certificate is invalid.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_CERT_NOT_YET_VALID: certificate is not yet valid>

 the passed certificate is self signed and the same certificate cannot be found
 in the list of trusted certificates.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN: self signed certificate in certificate chain>

 the certificate chain could be built up using the untrusted certificates but
 the root could not be found locally.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY: unable to get local issuer certificate>

 the issuer certificate of a locally looked up certificate could not be found.
 This normally means the list of trusted certificates is not complete.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE: unable to verify the first certificate>

 no signatures could be verified because the chain contains only one certificate
 and it is not self signed.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_CERT_CHAIN_TOO_LONG: certificate chain too long>

 the certificate chain length is greater than the supplied maximum depth. Unused.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_CERT_REVOKED: certificate revoked>

 the certificate has been revoked.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_INVALID_CA: invalid CA certificate>

 identifier was present and did not match the authority key identifier current
 certificate. This is only set if issuer check debugging is enabled it is used
 for status notification and is B<not> in itself an error.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_AKID_ISSUER_SERIAL_MISMATCH: authority and issuer serial number mismatch>

 the current candidate issuer certificate was rejected because its issuer name
 and serial number was present and did not match the authority key identifier of
 the current certificate. This is only set if issuer check debugging is enabled
 it is used for status notification and is B<not> in itself an error.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_KEYUSAGE_NO_CERTSIGN:key usage does not include certificate signing>

 supports directory name, DNS name, email and URI types.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_UNSUPPORTED_CONSTRAINT_SYNTAX: unsupported or invalid name constraint syntax>

 The format of the name constraint is not recognised: for example an email
 address format of a form not mentioned in RFC3280. This could be caused by
 a garbage extension or some new feature not currently supported.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_CRL_PATH_VALIDATION_ERROR: CRL path validation error>

 An error occurred when attempting to verify the CRL path. This error can only
 happen if extended CRL checking is enabled.

 =item B<X509_V_ERR_APPLICATION_VERIFICATION: application verification failure>

 an application specific error. This will never be returned unless explicitly
 set by an application.

 =back

 =head1 NOTES

 The above functions should be used instead of directly referencing the fields
 in the B<X509_VERIFY_CTX> structure.

 In versions of OpenSSL before 1.0 the current certificate returned by
 X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert() was never B<NULL>. Applications should
 check the return value before printing out any debugging information relating
 to the current certificate.

 If an unrecognised error code is passed to X509_verify_cert_error_string() the
 numerical value of the unknown code is returned in a static buffer. This is not
 thread safe but will never happen unless an invalid code is passed.
