erbsland-dev 2c1ef172f8 Add and Update Documentation for TS_VERIFY_CTX Functions
Mark the existing `TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_certs` function as deprecated in the
documentation.
Add missing documentation for the deprecated functions `TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_data`,
`TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_imprint`, and `TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_store`.
Write missing documentation for the following functions:
- `TS_VERIFY_CTX_new`
- `TS_VERIFY_CTX_init`
- `TS_VERIFY_CTX_free`
- `TS_VERIFY_CTX_cleanup`
- `TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_flags`
- `TS_VERIFY_CTX_add_flags`
- `TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_data`

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Time-Stamp Protocol (TSP) is defined by RFC 3161. TSP is a protocol used to
provide long-term proof of the existence of certain data before a particular
time. TSP defines a Time Stamping Authority (TSA) and an entity that makes
requests to the TSA. Usually, the TSA is referred to as the server side, and the
requesting entity is referred to as the client.
In TSP, when a server sends a response to a client, the server normally
needs to sign the response data - the TimeStampToken (TST) - with its private
key. Then the client verifies the received TST using the server's certificate
chain.
For all the following methods, unless noted otherwise, I<ctx> is the
verification context created in advance.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_new() returns an allocated B<TS_VERIFY_CTX> structure.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_init() initializes a verification context.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_free() frees up a B<TS_VERIFY_CTX> object. I<ctx> is the
verification context to be freed. If I<ctx> is NULL, the call is ignored.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_flags() sets the flags in the verification context. I<f> are
the flags to be set.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_add_flags() adds flags to the verification context. I<f> are the
flags to be added (OR'd).
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_data() sets the data to be verified. I<b> is the B<BIO> with
the data. A previously assigned B<BIO> is freed.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_imprint() sets the message imprint. I<hexstr> is the
message imprint to be assigned. A previously assigned imprint is freed.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_store() sets the store for the verification context. I<s> is
the store to be assigned. A previously assigned store is freed.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_certs() is used to set the server's certificate chain when
verifying a TST. I<certs> is a stack of B<X509> certificates.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_cleanup() frees all data associated with the given
B<TS_VERIFY_CTX> object and initializes it. I<ctx> is the verification context
created in advance. If I<ctx> is NULL, the call is ignored.
All of the following functions described are deprecated. Applications should
instead use the functions L<TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_data(3)>,
L<TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_imprint(3)>, L<TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_store(3)>,
L<TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_certs(3)>.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_data() is used to set the BIO with the data to be verified.
A previously assigned BIO is B<not freed> by this call. I<b> is the B<BIO>
with the data to assign.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_imprint() is used to set the message imprint. A previously
assigned imprint B<is freed> by this call. I<hexstr> is the string with the
message imprint to assign.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_store() is used to set the certificate store. A previously
assigned store is B<not freed> by this call. I<s> is the store to assign.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_certs() is used to set the server's certificate chain.
A previously assigned stack is B<not freed> by this call. I<certs> is a stack
of B<X509> certificates.
TS_VERIFY_CTS_set_certs() is a misspelled version of TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_certs()
which takes the same parameters and returns the same result.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
TS_VERIFY_CTX_new() returns an allocated B<TS_VERIFY_CTX> structure.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_flags() returns the flags passed via parameter I<f>.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_add_flags() returns the flags of the context after the ones
passed via parameter I<f> are added to it.
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_data(), TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_imprint(),
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_store(), and TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_certs() return 1 if the
value could be successfully set and 0 in case of any error.
The deprecated functions TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_data(), TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_imprint(),
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_store(), TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_certs() return the parameter
the user passes via parameter I<bio>, I<hexstr>, I<s> or I<certs>.

=head1 HISTORY
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_data(), TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_imprint(),
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_store(), TS_VERIFY_CTX_set0_certs() replace the functions
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_data(), TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_imprint(),
TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_store(), TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_certs() that were deprecated
in OpenSSL 3.4.0.
The spelling of TS_VERIFY_CTX_set_certs() was corrected in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
The misspelled version TS_VERIFY_CTS_set_certs() has been retained for
compatibility reasons, but it is deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.0.
