@deftypefun {void} {gnutls_session_set_verify_cert} (gnutls_session_t @var{session}, const char * @var{hostname}, unsigned @var{flags})

@var{session}: is a gnutls session

@var{hostname}: is the expected name of the peer; may be @code{NULL} 

@var{flags}: flags for certificate verification -- @code{gnutls_certificate_verify_flags} 

This function instructs GnuTLS to verify the peer's certificate

using the provided hostname. If the verification fails the handshake

will also fail with @code{GNUTLS_E_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_ERROR} . In that

case the verification result can be obtained using @code{gnutls_session_get_verify_cert_status()} .

The  @code{hostname} pointer provided must remain valid for the lifetime

of the session. More precisely it should be available during any subsequent

handshakes. If no hostname is provided, no hostname verification

will be performed. For a more advanced verification function check

@code{gnutls_session_set_verify_cert2()} .

If  @code{flags} is provided which contain a profile, this function should be

called after any session priority setting functions.

The @code{gnutls_session_set_verify_cert()}  function is intended to be used by TLS

clients to verify the server's certificate.

@strong{Since:} 3.4.6
