.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBX509_cmp_time()\fR compares the ASN1_TIME in \fIasn1_time\fR with the time
in <in_tm>.
.PP
\&\fBX509_cmp_current_time()\fR compares the ASN1_TIME in
\&\fIasn1_time\fR with the current time, expressed as time_t.
.PP
\&\fBX509_cmp_timeframe()\fR compares the given time period with the reference time
included in the verification parameters \fIvpm\fR if they are not NULL and contain
\&\fBX509_V_FLAG_USE_CHECK_TIME\fR; else the current time is used as reference time.
.PP
\&\fBX509_time_adj_ex()\fR sets the ASN1_TIME structure \fIasn1_time\fR to the time
\&\fIoffset_day\fR and \fIoffset_sec\fR after \fIin_tm\fR.
.PP
\&\fBX509_time_adj()\fR sets the ASN1_TIME structure \fIasn1_time\fR to the time
\&\fIoffset_sec\fR after \fIin_tm\fR. This method can only handle second
offsets up to the capacity of long, so the newer \fBX509_time_adj_ex()\fR
API should be preferred.
.PP
In both methods, if \fIasn1_time\fR is NULL, a new ASN1_TIME structure
is allocated and returned.
.PP
In all methods, if \fIin_tm\fR is NULL, the current time, expressed as
time_t, is used.
.PP
\&\fIasn1_time\fR must satisfy the ASN1_TIME format mandated by RFC 5280,
i.e., its format must be either YYMMDDHHMMSSZ or YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ.
.PP
\&\fBX509_gmtime_adj()\fR sets the ASN1_TIME structure \fIasn1_time\fR to the time
\&\fIoffset_sec\fR after the current time. It is equivalent to calling
\&\fBX509_time_adj()\fR with the last parameter as NULL.
.SH BUGS
.IX Header "BUGS"
Unlike many standard comparison functions, \fBX509_cmp_time()\fR and
\&\fBX509_cmp_current_time()\fR return 0 on error.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBX509_cmp_time()\fR and \fBX509_cmp_current_time()\fR return \-1 if \fIasn1_time\fR
is earlier than, or equal to, \fIin_tm\fR (resp. current time), and 1
otherwise. These methods return 0 on error.
.PP
\&\fBX509_cmp_timeframe()\fR returns 0 if \fIvpm\fR is not NULL and the verification
parameters do not contain \fBX509_V_FLAG_USE_CHECK_TIME\fR
but do contain \fBX509_V_FLAG_NO_CHECK_TIME\fR. Otherwise it returns
1 if the end time is not NULL and the reference time (which has determined as
stated above) is past the end time, \-1 if the start time is not NULL and the
reference time is before, else 0 to indicate that the reference time is in range
(implying that the end time is not before the start time if both are present).
.PP
\&\fBX509_time_adj()\fR, \fBX509_time_adj_ex()\fR and \fBX509_gmtime_adj()\fR return a pointer to
the updated ASN1_TIME structure, and NULL on error.
