       int      gnutls_x509_crt_verify(gnutls_x509_crt_t      cert,      const
       gnutls_x509_crt_t  *  CA_list,  int CA_list_length, unsigned int flags,
       unsigned int * verify);

ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   is the certificate to be verified

                   enumerations.

       unsigned int * verify
                   will hold the certificate verification output.
