NAME
       gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname2 - API function


SYNOPSIS
       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       unsigned  gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname2(gnutls_x509_crt_t  cert,  const  char  * hostname, unsigned int
       flags);


ARGUMENTS
       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   should contain an gnutls_x509_crt_t type

       const char * hostname
                   A null terminated string that contains a DNS name

       unsigned int flags
                   gnutls_certificate_verify_flags


DESCRIPTION
       This function will check if the given certificate's subject matches the given hostname.  This is a  basic
       implementation  of  the  matching  described  in  RFC6125,  and  takes  into  account  wildcards, and the
       DNSName/IPAddress subject alternative name PKIX extension.

       IPv4 addresses are accepted by this function in the dotted-decimal  format  (e.g,  ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd),  and
       IPv6 addresses in the hexadecimal x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x format. For them the IPAddress subject alternative name
       extension is consulted. Previous versions to 3.6.0 of GnuTLS in case of a non-match would consult  (in  a
       non-standard extension) the DNSname and CN fields. This is no longer the case.

       When  the  flag  GNUTLS_VERIFY_DO_NOT_ALLOW_WILDCARDS is specified no wildcards are considered. Otherwise
       they are only considered if the domain name consists of three components or more, and the wildcard starts
       at the leftmost position.

       The function gnutls_x509_crt_check_ip() is available for matching IP addresses.


RETURNS
       non-zero for a successful match, and zero on failure.


SINCE
       3.3.0
