+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CTX_set0_chain() and SSL_CTX_set1_chain() set the certificate chain
+associated with the current certificate of B<ctx> to B<sk>.
+
+SSL_CTX_add0_chain_cert() and SSL_CTX_add1_chain_cert() append the single
+certificate B<x509> to the chain associated with the current certificate of
+B<ctx>.
+
+SSL_CTX_get0_chain_certs() retrieves the chain associated with the current
+certificate of B<ctx>.
+
+SSL_CTX_clear_chain_certs() clears any existing chain associated with the
+current certificate of B<ctx>. (This is implemented by calling
+SSL_CTX_set0_chain() with B<sk> set to B<NULL>).
+
+SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() builds the certificate chain for B<ctx> normally
+this uses the chain store or the verify store if the chain store is not set.
+If the function is successful the built chain will replace any existing chain.
+The B<flags> parameter can be set to B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_UNTRUSTED> to use
+existing chain certificates as untrusted CAs, B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_NO_ROOT>
+to omit the root CA from the built chain, B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CHECK> to
+use all existing chain certificates only to build the chain (effectively
+sanity checking and rearranging them if necessary), the flag
+B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERROR> ignores any errors during verification:
+if flag B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CLEAR_ERROR> is also set verification errors
+are cleared from the error queue.
+
+Each of these functions operates on the I<current> end entity
+(i.e. server or client) certificate. This is the last certificate loaded or
+selected on the corresponding B<ctx> structure.
+
+SSL_CTX_select_current_cert() selects B<x509> as the current end entity
+certificate, but only if B<x509> has already been loaded into B<ctx> using a
+function such as SSL_CTX_use_certificate().
+
+SSL_set0_chain(), SSL_set1_chain(), SSL_add0_chain_cert(),
+SSL_add1_chain_cert(), SSL_get0_chain_certs(), SSL_clear_chain_certs(),
+SSL_build_cert_chain(), SSL_select_current_cert() and SSL_set_current_cert()
+are similar except they apply to SSL structure B<ssl>.
+
+SSL_CTX_set_current_cert() changes the current certificate to a value based
+on the B<op> argument. Currently B<op> can be B<SSL_CERT_SET_FIRST> to use
+the first valid certificate or B<SSL_CERT_SET_NEXT> to set the next valid
+certificate after the current certificate. These two operations can be
+used to iterate over all certificates in an B<SSL_CTX> structure.
+
+SSL_set_current_cert() also supports the option B<SSL_CERT_SET_SERVER>.
+If B<ssl> is a server and has sent a certificate to a connected client
+this option sets that certificate to the current certificate and returns 1.
+If the negotiated ciphersuite is anonymous (and thus no certificate will
+be sent) 2 is returned and the current certificate is unchanged. If B<ssl>
+is not a server or a certificate has not been sent 0 is returned and
+the current certificate is unchanged.
+
+All these functions are implemented as macros. Those containing a B<1>
+increment the reference count of the supplied certificate or chain so it must
+be freed at some point after the operation. Those containing a B<0> do
+not increment reference counts and the supplied certificate or chain
+B<MUST NOT> be freed after the operation.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The chains associate with an SSL_CTX structure are copied to any SSL
+structures when SSL_new() is called. SSL structures will not be affected
+by any chains subsequently changed in the parent SSL_CTX.
+
+One chain can be set for each key type supported by a server. So, for example,
+an RSA and a DSA certificate can (and often will) have different chains.
+
+The functions SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() and SSL_build_cert_chain() can
+be used to check application configuration and to ensure any necessary
+subordinate CAs are sent in the correct order. Misconfigured applications
+sending incorrect certificate chains often cause problems with peers.
+
+For example an application can add any set of certificates using
+SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file() then call SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain()
+with the option B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_CHECK> to check and reorder them.
+
+Applications can issue non fatal warnings when checking chains by setting
+the flag B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERRORS> and checking the return
+value.
+
+Calling SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() or SSL_build_cert_chain() is more
+efficient than the automatic chain building as it is only performed once.
+Automatic chain building is performed on each new session.
+
+If any certificates are added using these functions no certificates added
+using SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() will be used.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+SSL_set_current_cert() with B<SSL_CERT_SET_SERVER> return 1 for success, 2 if
+no server certificate is used because the ciphersuites is anonymous and 0
+for failure.
+
+SSL_CTX_build_cert_chain() and SSL_build_cert_chain() return 1 for success
+and 0 for failure. If the flag B<SSL_BUILD_CHAIN_FLAG_IGNORE_ERROR> and
+a verification error occurs then 2 is returned.
+
+All other functions return 1 for success and 0 for failure.
