Arguments

gnutls_x509_crt_t cert

is one certificate that is considered to be trusted one

unsigned CA_list_length

Flags that may be used to change the verification algorithm. Use OR of the gnutls_certificate_verify_flags enumerations.

unsigned int * verify

This function will try to verify the given certificate and return its status. Note that a verification error does not imply a negative return status. In that case the verify status is set.
