+
+ int SSL_CTX_get_verify_mode(SSL_CTX *ctx);

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_get_verify_mode() returns the verification mode currently set in
+B<ctx>.
+
+SSL_get_verify_mode() returns the verification mode currently set in
+B<ssl>.
+
+SSL_CTX_get_verify_depth() returns the verification depth limit currently set
+in B<ctx>. If no limit has been explicitly set, -1 is returned and the
+default value will be used.
+
+SSL_get_verify_depth() returns the verification depth limit currently set
+in B<ssl>. If no limit has been explicitly set, -1 is returned and the
+default value will be used.
+
+SSL_CTX_get_verify_callback() returns a function pointer to the verification
+callback currently set in B<ctx>. If no callback was explicitly set, the
+NULL pointer is returned and the default callback will be used.
+
+SSL_get_verify_callback() returns a function pointer to the verification
+callback currently set in B<ssl>. If no callback was explicitly set, the
+NULL pointer is returned and the default callback will be used.
