Beat Bolli e9b7724687 doc/man3: reformat the function prototypes in the synopses
I tried hard to keep the lines at 80 characters or less, but in a few
cases I had to punt and just indented the subsequent lines by 4 spaces.

A few well-placed typedefs for callback functions would really help, but
these would be part of the API, so that's probably for later.

I also took the liberty of inserting empty lines in overlong blocks to
provide some visual space.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() sets the verification callback of B<ctx> to
B<verify_cb> overwriting any existing callback.
The verification callback can be used to customise the operation of certificate
verification, either by overriding error conditions or logging errors for
debugging purposes.
However a verification callback is B<not> essential and the default operation
is often sufficient.
The B<ok> parameter to the callback indicates the value the callback should
return to retain the default behaviour. If it is zero then an error condition
is indicated. If it is 1 then no error occurred. If the flag
B<X509_V_FLAG_NOTIFY_POLICY> is set then B<ok> is set to 2 to indicate the
policy checking is complete.
The B<ctx> parameter to the callback is the B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure that
is performing the verification operation. A callback can examine this
structure and receive additional information about the error, for example
by calling X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert(). Additional application data can
be passed to the callback via the B<ex_data> mechanism.
X509_STORE_CTX_get_verify_cb() returns the value of the current callback
for the specific B<ctx>.
X509_STORE_CTX_get_get_issuer(),
X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_issued(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_revocation(),
X509_STORE_CTX_get_get_crl(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_crl(),
X509_STORE_CTX_get_cert_crl(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_check_policy(),
X509_STORE_CTX_get_lookup_certs(), X509_STORE_CTX_get_lookup_crls()
and X509_STORE_CTX_get_cleanup() return the function pointers cached
from the corresponding B<X509_STORE>, please see
L<X509_STORE_set_verify(3)> for more information.
=head1 WARNING
In general a verification callback should B<NOT> unconditionally return 1 in
all circumstances because this will allow verification to succeed no matter
what the error. This effectively removes all security from the application
because B<any> certificate (including untrusted generated ones) will be
accepted.
=head1 NOTES
The verification callback can be set and inherited from the parent structure
performing the operation. In some cases (such as S/MIME verification) the
B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure is created and destroyed internally and the
only way to set a custom verification callback is by inheriting it from the
associated B<X509_STORE>.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify_cb() does not return a value.
=head1 EXAMPLES
Default callback operation:
int verify_callback(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx) {
return ok;
}
Simple example, suppose a certificate in the chain is expired and we wish
to continue after this error:
int verify_callback(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx) {
/* Tolerate certificate expiration */
if (X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(ctx) == X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED)
return 1;
/* Otherwise don't override */
return ok;
}
More complex example, we don't wish to continue after B<any> certificate has
expired just one specific case:
int verify_callback(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx)
{
int err = X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(ctx);
X509 *err_cert = X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert(ctx);
if (err == X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED) {
if (check_is_acceptable_expired_cert(err_cert)
return 1;
}
return ok;
}
Full featured logging callback. In this case the B<bio_err> is assumed to be
a global logging B<BIO>, an alternative would to store a BIO in B<ctx> using
B<ex_data>.
int verify_callback(int ok, X509_STORE_CTX *ctx)
{
X509 *err_cert;
int err, depth;
err_cert = X509_STORE_CTX_get_current_cert(ctx);
err = X509_STORE_CTX_get_error(ctx);
depth = X509_STORE_CTX_get_error_depth(ctx);
BIO_printf(bio_err, "depth=%d ", depth);
if (err_cert) {
X509_NAME_print_ex(bio_err, X509_get_subject_name(err_cert),
0, XN_FLAG_ONELINE);
BIO_puts(bio_err, "\n");
}
else
BIO_puts(bio_err, "<no cert>\n");
if (!ok)
BIO_printf(bio_err, "verify error:num=%d:%s\n", err,
X509_verify_cert_error_string(err));
switch (err) {
case X509_V_ERR_UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT:
BIO_puts(bio_err, "issuer= ");
X509_NAME_print_ex(bio_err, X509_get_issuer_name(err_cert),
0, XN_FLAG_ONELINE);
BIO_puts(bio_err, "\n");
break;
case X509_V_ERR_CERT_NOT_YET_VALID:
case X509_V_ERR_ERROR_IN_CERT_NOT_BEFORE_FIELD:
BIO_printf(bio_err, "notBefore=");
ASN1_TIME_print(bio_err, X509_get_notBefore(err_cert));
BIO_printf(bio_err, "\n");
break;
case X509_V_ERR_CERT_HAS_EXPIRED:
case X509_V_ERR_ERROR_IN_CERT_NOT_AFTER_FIELD:
BIO_printf(bio_err, "notAfter=");
ASN1_TIME_print(bio_err, X509_get_notAfter(err_cert));
BIO_printf(bio_err, "\n");
break;
case X509_V_ERR_NO_EXPLICIT_POLICY:
policies_print(bio_err, ctx);
break;
}
if (err == X509_V_OK && ok == 2)
/* print out policies */
BIO_printf(bio_err, "verify return:%d\n", ok);
return(ok);
