+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+These functions initialise an B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure for subsequent use
+by X509_verify_cert().
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_new() returns a newly initialised B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup() internally cleans up an B<X509_STORE_CTX> structure.
+The context can then be reused with an new call to X509_STORE_CTX_init().
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_free() completely frees up B<ctx>. After this call B<ctx>
+is no longer valid.
+If B<ctx> is NULL nothing is done.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_init() sets up B<ctx> for a subsequent verification operation.
+It must be called before each call to X509_verify_cert(), i.e. a B<ctx> is only
+good for one call to X509_verify_cert(); if you want to verify a second
+certificate with the same B<ctx> then you must call X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup()
+and then X509_STORE_CTX_init() again before the second call to
+X509_verify_cert(). The trusted certificate store is set to B<store>, the end
+entity certificate to be verified is set to B<x509> and a set of additional
+certificates (which will be untrusted but may be used to build the chain) in
+B<chain>. Any or all of the B<store>, B<x509> and B<chain> parameters can be
+B<NULL>.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack() sets the set of trusted certificates of
+B<ctx> to B<sk>. This is an alternative way of specifying trusted certificates
+instead of using an B<X509_STORE>.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert() sets the certificate to be verified in B<ctx> to
+B<x>.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set0_verified_chain() sets the validated chain used
+by B<ctx> to be B<chain>.
+Ownership of the chain is transferred to B<ctx> and should not be
+free'd by the caller.
+X509_STORE_CTX_get0_chain() returns a the internal pointer used by the
+B<ctx> that contains the validated chain.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() sets a set of CRLs to use to aid certificate
+verification to B<sk>. These CRLs will only be used if CRL verification is
+enabled in the associated B<X509_VERIFY_PARAM> structure. This might be
+used where additional "useful" CRLs are supplied as part of a protocol,
+for example in a PKCS#7 structure.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_get0_param() retrieves an internal pointer
+to the verification parameters associated with B<ctx>.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_get0_untrusted() retrieves an internal pointer to the
+stack of untrusted certificates associated with B<ctx>.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set0_untrusted() sets the internal point to the stack
+of untrusted certificates associated with B<ctx> to B<sk>.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set0_param() sets the internal verification parameter pointer
+to B<param>. After this call B<param> should not be used.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set_default() looks up and sets the default verification
+method to B<name>. This uses the function X509_VERIFY_PARAM_lookup() to
+find an appropriate set of parameters from B<name>.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_get_num_untrusted() returns the number of untrusted certificates
+that were used in building the chain following a call to X509_verify_cert().
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set_verify() provides the capability for overriding the default
+verify function. This function is responsible for verifying chain signatures and
+expiration times.
+
+A verify function is defined as an X509_STORE_CTX_verify type which has the
+following signature:
+
+ int (*verify)(X509_STORE_CTX *);
+
+This function should receive the current X509_STORE_CTX as a parameter and
+return 1 on success or 0 on failure.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The certificates and CRLs in a store are used internally and should B<not>
+be freed up until after the associated B<X509_STORE_CTX> is freed.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The certificates and CRLs in a context are used internally and should B<not>
+be freed up until after the associated B<X509_STORE_CTX> is freed. Copies
+should be made or reference counts increased instead.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_new() returns an newly allocates context or B<NULL> is an
+error occurred.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_init() returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_get0_param() returns a pointer to an B<X509_VERIFY_PARAM>
+structure or B<NULL> if an error occurred.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_cleanup(), X509_STORE_CTX_free(),
+X509_STORE_CTX_set0_trusted_stack(),
+X509_STORE_CTX_set_cert(),
+X509_STORE_CTX_set0_crls() and X509_STORE_CTX_set0_param() do not return
+values.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_set_default() returns 1 for success or 0 if an error occurred.
+
+X509_STORE_CTX_get_num_untrusted() returns the number of untrusted certificates
+used.
