+X509_check_private_key, X509_REQ_check_private_key \- check the consistency

+request
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+.Vb 1
+\& #include <openssl/x509.h>
+\&
+\& int X509_check_private_key(const X509 *cert, EVP_PKEY *pkey);

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBX509_check_private_key()\fR function checks the consistency of private
+key \fIpkey\fR with the public key in \fIcert\fR.
+.PP
+\&\fBX509_REQ_check_private_key()\fR is equivalent to \fBX509_check_private_key()\fR
+except that \fIreq\fR represents a certificate request of structure \fBX509_REQ\fR.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBX509_check_private_key()\fR and \fBX509_REQ_check_private_key()\fR return 1 if
+the keys match each other, and 0 if not.
+.PP
+If the key is invalid or an error occurred, the reason code can be
+obtained using \fBERR_get_error\fR\|(3).
+.SH BUGS
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+The \fBX509_check_private_key()\fR and \fBX509_REQ_check_private_key()\fR functions
+do not check if \fIpkey\fR itself is indeed a private key or not.
+They merely compare the public materials (e.g., exponent and modulus of an RSA
+key) and/or key parameters (e.g. EC params of an EC key) of a key pair.
+So they also return success if \fIpkey\fR is a matching public key.
