+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+These functions configure server hostname checks in the SSL client.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_set1_host()\fR sets in the verification parameters of \fIs\fR
+the expected DNS hostname or IP address to \fIhost\fR,
+clearing any previously specified IP address and hostnames.
+If \fIhost\fR is NULL or the empty string, IP address
+and hostname checks are not performed on the peer certificate.
+When a nonempty \fIhost\fR is specified, certificate verification automatically
+checks the peer hostname via \fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3) with \fIflags\fR as specified
+via \fBSSL_set_hostflags()\fR. Clients that enable DANE TLSA authentication
+via \fBSSL_dane_enable\fR\|(3) should leave it to that function to set
+the primary reference identifier of the peer, and should not call
+\&\fBSSL_set1_host()\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_add1_host()\fR adds \fIhost\fR as an additional reference identifier
+that can match the peer's certificate. Any previous hostnames
+set via \fBSSL_set1_host()\fR or \fBSSL_add1_host()\fR are retained.
+Adding an IP address is allowed only if no IP address has been set before.
+No change is made if \fIhost\fR is NULL or empty.
+When an IP address and/or multiple hostnames are configured,
+the peer is considered verified when any of these matches.
+This function is required for DANE TLSA in the presence of service name indirection
+via CNAME, MX or SRV records as specified in RFCs 7671, 7672, and 7673.
+.PP
+TLS clients are recommended to use \fBSSL_set1_host()\fR or \fBSSL_add1_host()\fR
+for server hostname or IP address validation,
+as well as \fBSSL_set_tlsext_host_name\fR\|(3) for Server Name Indication (SNI),
+which may be crucial also for correct routing of the connection request.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_set_hostflags()\fR sets the \fIflags\fR that will be passed to
+\&\fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3) when name checks are applicable, by default
+the \fIflags\fR value is 0. See \fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3) for the list
+of available flags and their meaning.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_get0_peername()\fR returns the DNS hostname or subject CommonName
+from the peer certificate that matched one of the reference
+identifiers. When wildcard matching is not disabled, the name
+matched in the peer certificate may be a wildcard name. When one
+of the reference identifiers configured via \fBSSL_set1_host()\fR or
+\&\fBSSL_add1_host()\fR starts with ".", which indicates a parent domain prefix
+rather than a fixed name, the matched peer name may be a sub-domain
+of the reference identifier. The returned string is allocated by
+the library and is no longer valid once the associated \fIssl\fR handle
+is cleared or freed, or a renegotiation takes place. Applications
+must not free the return value.
+.PP
+SSL clients are advised to use these functions in preference to
+explicitly calling \fBX509_check_host\fR\|(3). Hostname checks may be out
+of scope with the RFC 7671 \fBDANE\-EE\fR\|(3) certificate usage, and the
+internal check will be suppressed as appropriate when DANE is
+enabled.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBSSL_set1_host()\fR and \fBSSL_add1_host()\fR return 1 for success and 0 for
+failure.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_set_hostflags()\fR returns nothing at all.
+.PP
+\&\fBSSL_get0_peername()\fR returns NULL if peername verification is not
+applicable (as with RFC 7671 \fBDANE\-EE\fR\|(3)), or no trusted peername was
+matched. Otherwise, it returns the matched peername. To determine
+whether verification succeeded call \fBSSL_get_verify_result\fR\|(3).
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
+Suppose "smtp.example.com" is the MX host of the domain "example.com".
+The calls below will arrange to match either the MX hostname or the
+destination domain name in the SMTP server certificate. Wildcards
+are supported, but must match the entire label. The actual name
+matched in the certificate (which might be a wildcard) is retrieved,
+and must be copied by the application if it is to be retained beyond
+the lifetime of the SSL connection.
