ARGUMENTS

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert

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.

RETURNS

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