=head1 NAME
X509_check_ca - check if given certificate is CA certificate
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509v3.h>
int X509_check_ca(X509 *cert);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This function checks if given certificate is CA certificate (can be used
to sign other certificates).
=head1 RETURN VALUE
Function return 0, if it is not CA certificate, 1 if it is proper X509v3
CA certificate with B<basicConstraints> extension CA:TRUE,
3, if it is self-signed X509 v1 certificate, 4, if it is certificate with
B<keyUsage> extension with bit B<keyCertSign> set, but without
