.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
These functions are typically called after \fBX509_verify_cert()\fR has indicated
an error or in a verification callback to determine the nature of an error.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_error()\fR returns the error code of \fBctx\fR, see
the \fB\s-1ERROR CODES\s0\fR section for a full description of all error codes.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_error()\fR sets the error code of \fBctx\fR to \fBs\fR. For example
it might be used in a verification callback to set an error based on additional
checks.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth()\fR returns the \fBdepth\fR of the error. This is a
nonnegative 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.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_error_depth()\fR sets the error \fBdepth\fR.
This can be used in combination with \fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_error()\fR to set the
depth at which an error condition was detected.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert()\fR returns the certificate in \fBctx\fR which
caused the error or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if no certificate is relevant.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_set_current_cert()\fR sets the certificate \fBx\fR in \fBctx\fR 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 \fBX509_up_ref\fR\|(3).
Once such a \fIsaved\fR certificate is no longer needed it can be freed with
\&\fBX509_free\fR\|(3).
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get0_cert()\fR retrieves an internal pointer to the
certificate being verified by the \fBctx\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get1_chain()\fR returns a complete validate chain if a previous
call to \fBX509_verify_cert()\fR is successful. If the call to \fBX509_verify_cert()\fR
is \fBnot\fR successful the returned chain may be incomplete or invalid. The
returned chain persists after the \fBctx\fR structure is freed, when it is
no longer needed it should be free up using:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& sk_X509_pop_free(chain, X509_free);
.Ve
.PP
\&\fBX509_verify_cert_error_string()\fR returns a human readable error string for
verification error \fBn\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_error()\fR returns \fBX509_V_OK\fR or an error code.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth()\fR returns a nonnegative error depth.
.PP
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert()\fR returns the certificate which caused the
error or \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR if no certificate is relevant to the error.
.PP
\&\fBX509_verify_cert_error_string()\fR returns a human readable error string for
verification error \fBn\fR.

.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
The above functions should be used instead of directly referencing the fields
in the \fBX509_VERIFY_CTX\fR structure.
.PP
In versions of OpenSSL before 1.0 the current certificate returned by
\&\fBX509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert()\fR was never \fB\s-1NULL\s0\fR. Applications should
check the return value before printing out any debugging information relating
to the current certificate.
.PP
If an unrecognised error code is passed to \fBX509_verify_cert_error_string()\fR 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.
