60 .Fn SSL_get_verify_result "const SSL *ssl"
62 .Fn SSL_get_verify_result
63 returns the result of the verification of the X509 certificate presented by the
66 .Fn SSL_get_verify_result
67 can only return one error code while the verification of a certificate can fail
68 because of many reasons at the same time.
69 Only the last verification error that occurred during the processing is
71 .Fn SSL_get_verify_result .
73 The verification result is part of the established session and is restored when
76 The following return values can currently occur:
79 The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.

88 .Xr SSL_set_verify_result 3
90 If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is
92 This is because no verification error occurred;
93 however, it does not indicate success.
94 .Fn SSL_get_verify_result
95 is only useful in connection with
96 .Xr SSL_get_peer_certificate 3 .
