X509_CMP_TIME(3ossl)                OpenSSL               X509_CMP_TIME(3ossl)



NAME

       X509_cmp_time, X509_cmp_current_time, X509_cmp_timeframe,
       X509_time_adj, X509_time_adj_ex, X509_gmtime_adj - X509 time functions


SYNOPSIS

        int X509_cmp_time(const ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, time_t *in_tm);
        int X509_cmp_current_time(const ASN1_TIME *asn1_time);
        int X509_cmp_timeframe(const X509_VERIFY_PARAM *vpm,
                               const ASN1_TIME *start, const ASN1_TIME *end);
        ASN1_TIME *X509_time_adj(ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, long offset_sec, time_t *in_tm);
        ASN1_TIME *X509_time_adj_ex(ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, int offset_day, long
                                    offset_sec, time_t *in_tm);
        ASN1_TIME *X509_gmtime_adj(ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, long offset_sec);


DESCRIPTION

       X509_cmp_time(3) compares the ASN1_TIME in asn1_time with the time in
       <in_tm>.

       X509_cmp_current_time() compares the ASN1_TIME in asn1_time with the
       current time, expressed as time_t.

       X509_cmp_timeframe() compares the given time period with the reference
       time included in the verification parameters vpm if they are not NULL
       and contain X509_V_FLAG_USE_CHECK_TIME; else the current time is used
       as reference time.

       X509_time_adj_ex() sets the ASN1_TIME structure asn1_time to the time
       offset_day and offset_sec after in_tm.

       X509_time_adj() sets the ASN1_TIME structure asn1_time to the time
       offset_sec after in_tm. This method can only handle second offsets up
       to the capacity of long, so the newer X509_time_adj_ex() API should be
       preferred.

       In both methods, if asn1_time is NULL, a new ASN1_TIME structure is
       allocated and returned.

       In all methods, if in_tm is NULL, the current time, expressed as
       time_t, is used.

       asn1_time must satisfy the ASN1_TIME format mandated by RFC 5280, i.e.,
       its format must be either YYMMDDHHMMSSZ or YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ.

       X509_gmtime_adj() sets the ASN1_TIME structure asn1_time to the time
       offset_sec after the current time. It is equivalent to calling
       X509_time_adj() with the last parameter as NULL.


BUGS

       Unlike many standard comparison functions, X509_cmp_time(3) and
       X509_cmp_current_time() return 0 on error.


RETURN VALUES

       X509_cmp_time(3) and X509_cmp_current_time() return -1 if asn1_time is
       earlier than, or equal to, in_tm (resp. current time), and 1 otherwise.
       These methods return 0 on error.

       X509_cmp_timeframe() returns 0 if vpm is not NULL and the verification
       parameters do not contain X509_V_FLAG_USE_CHECK_TIME but do contain
       X509_V_FLAG_NO_CHECK_TIME. 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).

       X509_time_adj(), X509_time_adj_ex() and X509_gmtime_adj() return a
       pointer to the updated ASN1_TIME structure, and NULL on error.


HISTORY

       X509_cmp_timeframe() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
