If the peer did not present a certificate, NULL is returned. 17 18=head1 NOTES 19 20That a certificate is returned does not indicate information about the 21verification state, use L<SSL_get_verify_result(3)|SSL_get_verify_result(3)> 22to check the verification state. 23 24The reference count of the X509 object is incremented by one, so that it 25will not be destroyed when the session containing the peer certificate is 26freed. The X509 object must be explicitly freed using X509_free(). 27 28=head1 RETURN VALUES 29 30The following return values can occur: 31 32=over 4 33 34=item NULL 35 36No certificate was presented by the peer or no connection was established. 37 38=item Pointer to an X509 certificate 39 40The return value points to the certificate presented by the peer. 41 42=back 43 44=head1 SEE ALSO 45 46L<ssl(3)|ssl(3)>, L<SSL_get_verify_result(3)|SSL_get_verify_result(3)> 47 48=cut 49
