.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "X509_CHECK_PURPOSE 3ossl" For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
X509_check_purpose - Check the purpose of a certificate Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/x509v3.h> \& int X509_check_purpose(X509 *x, int id, int ca); .Ve Header "DESCRIPTION" This function checks if certificate x was created with the purpose represented by id. If ca is nonzero, then certificate x is checked to determine if it's a possible \s-1CA\s0 with various levels of certainty possibly returned. The certificate x must be a complete certificate otherwise the function returns an error.

Below are the potential \s-1ID\s0's that can be checked:

.Vb 9 # 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 # define X509_PURPOSE_OCSP_HELPER 8 # define X509_PURPOSE_TIMESTAMP_SIGN 9 .Ve

The checks performed take into account the X.509 extensions keyUsage, extendedKeyUsage, and basicConstraints.

Header "RETURN VALUES" For non-CA checks Item "-1 an error condition has occurred"

0

Item " 1 if the certificate was created to perform the purpose represented by id" Item " 0 if the certificate was not created to perform the purpose represented by id"

For \s-1CA\s0 checks the below integers could be returned with the following meanings:

Item "-1 an error condition has occurred"

0

Item " 0 not a CA or does not have the purpose represented by id" Item " 1 is a CA." Item " 2 Only possible in old versions of openSSL when basicConstraints are absent. New versions will not return this value. May be a CA" Item " 3 basicConstraints absent but self signed V1." Item " 4 basicConstraints absent but keyUsage present and keyCertSign asserted." Item " 5 legacy Netscape specific CA Flags present"
