=head1 DESCRIPTION

These functions initialise an B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure for subsequent use
by L<X509_verify_cert(3)> or L<X509_STORE_CTX_verify(3)>.

X509_STORE_CTX_new_ex() returns a newly initialised B<X509_STORE_CTX>
structure associated with the specified library context I<libctx> and property
query string I<propq>. Any cryptographic algorithms fetched while performing
processing with the X509_STORE_CTX will use that library context and property
query string.

X509_STORE_CTX_new() is the same as X509_STORE_CTX_new_ex() except that
the default library context and a NULL property query string are used.

X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup() internally cleans up an B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure.
It is used by X509_STORE_CTX_init() and X509_STORE_CTX_free().

X509_STORE_CTX_free() completely frees up I<ctx>. After this call I<ctx>
is no longer valid.
If I<ctx> is NULL nothing is done.

X509_STORE_CTX_init() sets up I<ctx> for a subsequent verification operation.
It must be called before each call to L<X509_verify_cert(3)> or
L<X509_STORE_CTX_verify(3)>, i.e., a context is only good for one verification.
If you want to verify a further certificate or chain with the same I<ctx>
then you must call X509_STORE_CTX_init() again.
The trusted certificate store is set to I<trust_store> of type B<X509_STORE>.
This may be NULL because there are no trusted certificates or because
they are provided simply as a list using X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack().
The certificate to be verified is set to I<target>,
and a list of additional certificates may be provided in I<chain>,
which will be untrusted but may be used to build the chain.
Each of the I<trust_store>, I<target> and I<chain> parameters can be NULL.
Yet note that L<X509_verify_cert(3)> and L<X509_STORE_CTX_verify(3)>
will need a verification target.
This can also be set using X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert().
For L<X509_STORE_CTX_verify(3)>, which takes by default the first element of the
list of untrusted certificates as its verification target,
this can be also set indirectly using X509_STORE_CTX_set0_untrusted().

X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack() sets the set of trusted certificates of
I<ctx> to I<sk>. This is an alternative way of specifying trusted certificates
instead of using an B<X509_STORE>.

X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert() sets the target certificate to be verified in I<ctx>
to I<x>.

X509_STORE_CTX_set0_verified_chain() sets the validated chain used
by I<ctx> to be I<chain>.
Ownership of the chain is transferred to I<ctx> and should not be
free'd by the caller.
X509_STORE_CTX_get0_chain() returns the internal pointer used by the
I<ctx> that contains the validated chain.

X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() sets a set of CRLs to use to aid certificate
verification to I<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 I<ctx>.

X509_STORE_CTX_get0_untrusted() retrieves an internal pointer to the
stack of untrusted certificates associated with I<ctx>.

X509_STORE_CTX_set0_untrusted() sets the internal pointer to the stack
of untrusted certificates associated with I<ctx> to I<sk>.
X509_STORE_CTX_verify() will take the first element, if any,
as its default target if the target certificate is not set explicitly.

X509_STORE_CTX_set0_param() sets the internal verification parameter pointer
to I<param>. After this call B<param> should not be used.

X509_STORE_CTX_set_default() looks up and sets the default verification
method to I<name>. This uses the function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_lookup() to
find an appropriate set of parameters from I<name>.

X509_STORE_CTX_get_num_untrusted() returns the number of untrusted certificates
that were used in building the chain following a call to L<X509_verify_cert(3)>.
With L<X509_STORE_CTX_verify(3)>, this does not count the first chain element.

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.

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 a newly allocated context or NULL if 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 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.

=head1 HISTORY

The X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() function was added in OpenSSL 1.0.0.
The X509_STORE_CTX_get_num_untrusted() function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.0.
The X509_STORE_CTX_new_ex() function was added in OpenSSL 3.0.

There is no need to call X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup() explicitly since OpenSSL 3.0.
