NAME
X509_cmp_time - X509 time functions
SYNOPSIS
X509_cmp_time(const ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, time_t *cmp_time);
DESCRIPTION
X509_cmp_time() compares the
ASN1_TIME in
asn1_time with the time in
<cmp_time>.
asn1_time must satisfy the ASN1_TIME format mandated by RFC 5280, i.e.,
its format must be either YYMMDDHHMMSSZ or YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ.
If cmp_time is NULL the current time is used.
BUGS
Unlike many standard comparison functions, X509_cmp_time returns 0 on error.
RETURN VALUES
X509_cmp_time() returns -1 if
asn1_time is earlier than, or equal to,
cmp_time, and 1 otherwise. It returns 0 on error.
