<p>X509_check_purpose - Check the purpose of a certificate</p>
<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>
<pre><code> #include <openssl/x509v3.h>
int X509_check_purpose(X509 *x, int id, int ca)</code></pre>
<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>
<p>This function checks if certificate <i>x</i> was created with the purpose represented by <i>id</i>. If <i>ca</i> is nonzero, then certificate <i>x</i> is checked to determine if it's a possible CA with various levels of certainty possibly returned.</p>
<p>Below are the potential ID's that can be checked:</p>
<pre><code> # define X509_PURPOSE_SSL_CLIENT 1
# define X509_PURPOSE_SSL_SERVER 2
# define X509_PURPOSE_NS_SSL_SERVER 3
# define X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_SIGN 4
# define X509_PURPOSE_SMIME_ENCRYPT 5
# define X509_PURPOSE_CRL_SIGN 6
# define X509_PURPOSE_ANY 7
# define X509_PURPOSE_OCSP_HELPER 8
# define X509_PURPOSE_TIMESTAMP_SIGN 9</code></pre>
