53.Os
54.Sh NAME
55.Nm X509_check_ca
56.Nd check whether a certificate is a CA certificate
57.Sh SYNOPSIS
58.In openssl/x509v3.h
59.Ft int
60.Fo X509_check_ca
61.Fa "X509 *cert"
62.Fc
63.Sh DESCRIPTION
64The
65.Fn X509_check_ca
66function checks whether the given certificate is a CA certificate,
67that is, whether it can be used to sign other certificates.
68.Sh RETURN VALUES
69If
70.Fa cert
71is a CA certificate, a non-zero value is returned; 0 otherwise.
72.Pp
73The following return values identify specific kinds of CA certificates:
74.Bl -tag -width 2n
75.It 1
76an X.509 v3 CA certificate with
77.Sy basicConstraints
78extension CA:TRUE
79.It 3
80a self-signed X.509 v1 certificate
81.It 4
82a certificate with
83.Sy keyUsage
84extension with bit
85.Sy keyCertSign
86set, but without
87.Sy basicConstraints
88.It 5
89a certificate with an outdated Netscape Certificate Type extension telling
90that it is a CA certificate

100.Sh HISTORY
101.Fn X509_check_ca
102first appeared in OpenSSL 0.9.7f and has been available since
103.Ox 3.8 .
104.Sh BUGS
105If
106.Fn X509_check_ca
107fails to cache X509v3 extension values, the return value may
108be incorrect.
109An application should
110call
111.Xr X509_check_purpose 3
112with a
113.Fa purpose
114argument of \-1,
115ensuring that the X509v3 extensions are cached,
116before calling
117.Fn X509_check_ca .
