In asn1.h rev. 1.65, beck@ provided ASN1_TIME_set_string_X509(3),

ASN1_TIME_normalize(3), ASN1_TIME_to_tm(3), ASN1_TIME_cmp_time_t(3),
and ASN1_TIME_compare(3).
Merge documentation from the OpenSSL 1.1.1 branch, which is still
under a free license, with tweaks by me in several respects to match
our implementation, and also using some feedback from beck@.
OK beck@.
