=head1 DESCRIPTION
These functions initialise an B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure for subsequent use
by X509_verify_cert().
X509_STORE_CTX_new() returns a newly initialised B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure.
X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup() internally cleans up an B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure.
The context can then be reused with an new call to X509_STORE_CTX_init().
X509_STORE_CTX_free() completely frees up B<ctx>. After this call B<ctx>
is no longer valid.
If B<ctx> is NULL nothing is done.
X509_STORE_CTX_init() sets up B<ctx> for a subsequent verification operation.
It must be called before each call to X509_verify_cert(), i.e. a B<ctx> is only
good for one call to X509_verify_cert(); if you want to verify a second
certificate with the same B<ctx> then you must call X509_XTORE_CTX_cleanup()
and then X509_STORE_CTX_init() again before the second call to
X509_verify_cert(). The trusted certificate store is set to B<store>, the end
entity certificate to be verified is set to B<x509> and a set of additional
certificates (which will be untrusted but may be used to build the chain) in
B<chain>. Any or all of the B<store>, B<x509> and B<chain> parameters can be
B<NULL>.
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack() sets the set of trusted certificates of
B<ctx> to B<sk>. This is an alternative way of specifying trusted certificates
instead of using an B<X509_STORE>.
X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert() sets the certificate to be verified in B<ctx> to
B<x>.
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_verified_chain() sets the validated chain used
by B<ctx> to be B<chain>.
Ownership of the chain is transferred to B<ctx> and should not be
free'd by the caller.
X509_STORE_CTX_get0_chain() returns a the internal pointer used by the
B<ctx> that contains the validated chain.
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() sets a set of CRLs to use to aid certificate
verification to B<sk>. These CRLs will only be used if CRL verification is
enabled in the associated B<X509_VERIFY_PARAM> structure. This might be
used where additional "useful" CRLs are supplied as part of a protocol,
for example in a PKCS#7 structure.
X509_STORE_CTX_get0_param() retrieves an internal pointer
to the verification parameters associated with B<ctx>.
X509_STORE_CTX_get0_cert() retrieves an internal pointer to the
certificate being verified by the B<ctx>.
X509_STORE_CTX_get0_untrusted() retrieves an internal pointer to the
stack of untrusted certifieds associated with B<ctx>.
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_untrusted() sets the internal point to the stack
of unstrusted certificates associated with B<ctx> to B<sk>.
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_param() sets the internal verification parameter pointer
to B<param>. After this call B<param> should not be used.
X509_STORE_CTX_set_default() looks up and sets the default verification
method to B<name>. This uses the function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_lookup() to
find an appropriate set of parameters from B<name>.
X509_STORE_CTX_get_num_untrusted() returns the number of untrusted certificates
that were used in building the chain following a call to X509_verify_cert().
X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify() provides the capability for overriding the default
verify function. This function is responsible for verifying chain signatures and
expiration times. X509_STORE_CTX_get_verify() obtains the current verify
function being used.
X509_STORE_set_verify() works in the same way as for X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify()
but sets the default verify function to be used by all X509_STORE_CTX objects
created for this X509_STORE.
A verify function is defined as an X509_STORE_CTX_verify type which has the
following signature:
int (*verify)(X509_STORE_CTX *);
This function should receive the current X509_STORE_CTX as a parameter and
return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
=head1 NOTES
The certificates and CRLs in a store are used internally and should B<not>
be freed up until after the associated B<X509_STORE_CTX> is freed.
=head1 BUGS
The certificates and CRLs in a context are used internally and should B<not>
be freed up until after the associated B<X509_STORE_CTX> is freed. Copies
should be made or reference counts increased instead.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509_STORE_CTX_new() returns an newly allocates context or B<NULL> is an
error occurred.
X509_STORE_CTX_init() returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
X509_STORE_CTX_get0_param() returns a pointer to an B<X509_VERIFY_PARAM>
structure or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup(), X509_STORE_CTX_free(),
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack(),
X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert(),
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() and X509_STORE_CTX_set0_param() do not return
values.
X509_STORE_CTX_set_default() returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
X509_STORE_CTX_get_num_untrusted() returns the number of untrusted certificates
used.
X509_STORE_CTX_get_verify() returns the current verify function in use for this
X509_STORE_CTX.

=head1 HISTORY
X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() was first added to OpenSSL 1.0.0
X509_STORE_CTX_get_num_untrusted() was first added to OpenSSL 1.1.0
X509_STORE_set_verify() wsa first added to OpenSSL 1.1.0. It was previously
available as a macro X509_STORE_set_verify_func(). This macro still exists but
simply calls this function.
