NAME
       gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3 - API function

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/gnutls.h>

       int gnutls_certificate_verify_peers3(gnutls_session_t session, const char* hostname, unsigned int * status);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_session_t session
		   is a gnutls session

       const char* hostname
		   is the expected name of the peer; may be NULL

       unsigned int * status
		   is the output of the verification

DESCRIPTION
       This function will verify the peer's certificate and store the status in the  status variable as a bitwise or'd gnutls_certificate_status_t
       values or zero if the certificate is trusted. Note that value in  status is set only when the return value  of  this  function  is  success
       (i.e, failure to trust a certificate does not imply a negative return value).

       If  the	 hostname  provided  is non-NULL then this function will compare the hostname in the certificate against the given. If they do not
       match the GNUTLS_CERT_UNEXPECTED_OWNER status flag will be set.

       If available the OCSP Certificate Status extension will be utilized by this function.

       To avoid denial of service attacks some default upper limits regarding the certificate key size and chain size are set.	To  override  them
       use gnutls_certificate_set_verify_limits().

RETURNS
       a negative error code on error and GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS (0) on success.

SINCE
       3.1.4
