       #include <gnutls/x509.h>

       unsigned gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname(gnutls_x509_crt_t cert,
       const char * hostname);

ARGUMENTS         top

       gnutls_x509_crt_t cert
                   should contain an gnutls_x509_crt_t type

       const char * hostname

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function will check if the given certificate's subject
       matches the given hostname.  This is a basic implementation of

       wildcards, and the DNSName/IPAddress subject alternative name
       PKIX extension.

       For details see also gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname2().

RETURNS         top

       non-zero for a successful match, and zero on failure.
