8=head1 SYNOPSIS
9
10 int X509_cmp_time(const ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, time_t *in_tm);
11 int X509_cmp_current_time(const ASN1_TIME *asn1_time);
12 ASN1_TIME *X509_time_adj(ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, long offset_sec, time_t *in_tm);
13 ASN1_TIME *X509_time_adj_ex(ASN1_TIME *asn1_time, int offset_day, long
14 offset_sec, time_t *in_tm);

16=head1 DESCRIPTION
17
18X509_cmp_time() compares the ASN1_TIME in B<asn1_time> with the time
19in <cmp_time>. X509_cmp_current_time() compares the ASN1_TIME in
20B<asn1_time> with the current time, expressed as time_t. B<asn1_time>
21must satisfy the ASN1_TIME format mandated by RFC 5280, i.e., its
22format must be either YYMMDDHHMMSSZ or YYYYMMDDHHMMSSZ.
23
24X509_time_adj_ex() sets the ASN1_TIME structure B<asn1_time> to the time
25B<offset_day> and B<offset_sec> after B<in_tm>.
26
27X509_time_adj() sets the ASN1_TIME structure B<asn1_time> to the time
28B<offset_sec> after B<in_tm>. This method can only handle second
29offsets up to the capacity of long, so the newer X509_time_adj_ex()
30API should be preferred.
31
32In both methods, if B<asn1_time> is NULL, a new ASN1_TIME structure
33is allocated and returned.
34
35In all methods, if B<in_tm> is NULL, the current time, expressed as
36time_t, is used.
37
38=head1 BUGS
39
40Unlike many standard comparison functions, X509_cmp_time() and
41X509_cmp_current_time() return 0 on error.
42
43=head1 RETURN VALUES
44
45X509_cmp_time() and X509_cmp_current_time() return -1 if B<asn1_time>
46is earlier than, or equal to, B<cmp_time> (resp. current time), and 1
47otherwise. These methods return 0 on error.
48
49X509_time_adj() and X509_time_adj_ex() return a pointer to the updated
50ASN1_TIME structure, and NULL on error.
