This function takes into account not only 19matching of the issuer field of I<subject> with the subject field of I<issuer>, 20but also compares all sub-fields of the B<authorityKeyIdentifier> extension of 21I<subject>, as far as present, with the respective B<subjectKeyIdentifier>, 22serial number, and issuer fields of I<issuer>, as far as present. It also checks 23if the B<keyUsage> field (if present) of I<issuer> allows certificate signing. 24It does not actually check the certificate signature. An error is returned 25if the I<issuer> or the I<subject> are incomplete certificates. 26 27=head1 RETURN VALUES 28 29X509_check_issued() returns B<X509_V_OK> if all checks are successful 30or some B<X509_V_ERR*> constant to indicate an error. 31 32=head1 SEE ALSO 33 34L<X509_verify_cert(3)>, L<X509_verify(3)>, L<X509_check_ca(3)>, 35L<openssl-verify(1)>, L<X509_self_signed(3)> 36 37=head1 COPYRIGHT 38 39Copyright 2015-2021 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
