NAME
       gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname - compares the hostname with certificate's hostname

SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       int gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert, const char * hostname);

ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
		   should contain an gnutls_x509_crt_t structure

       const char * hostname
		   A null terminated string that contains a DNS name

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  will  check  if the given certificate's subject matches the given hostname.  This is a basic implementation of the matching
       described in RFC2818 (HTTPS), which takes into account wildcards, and the DNSName/IPAddress subject alternative name PKIX extension.

RETURNS
       non zero for a successful match, and zero on failure.
