+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_get_verify_result - get result of peer certificate verification
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ long SSL_get_verify_result(const SSL *ssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_get_verify_result() returns the result of the verification of the
+X509 certificate presented by the peer, if any.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+SSL_get_verify_result() 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 SSL_get_verify_result().
+
+The verification result is part of the established session and is restored
+when a session is reused.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+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. SSL_get_verify_result() is only useful in connection
+with L<SSL_get_peer_certificate(3)|SSL_get_peer_certificate(3)>.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+The following return values can currently occur:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item X509_V_OK
+
+The verification succeeded or no peer certificate was presented.
+
+=item Any other value
+
+Documented in L<verify(1)|verify(1)>.
