<CODE>SSL_get_verify_result()</CODE> returns the result of the verification
of the X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.

<P>
<CODE>SSL_get_verify_result()</CODE> can only return one error code while
the verification of a certificate can fail because of many reasons at the
same time. Only the last verification error that occurred during the
processing is available from <CODE>SSL_get_verify_result().</CODE>

</P>
<P>
The verification result is part of the established session and is restored
when a session is reused.

<P>
If no peer certificate was presented, the returned result code is
X509_V_OK. This is because no verification error occurred, it does however
not indicate success. <CODE>SSL_get_verify_result()</CODE> is only useful
in connection with <A HREF="../ssl/SSL_get_peer_certificate.html#">SSL_get_peer_certificate(3)</A>.
