=head1 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);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

X509_cmp_current_time() compares the ASN1_TIME in
I<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 I<vpm> if they are not NULL and contain
B<X509_V_FLAG_USE_CHECK_TIME>; else the current time is used as reference time.

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

X509_time_adj() sets the ASN1_TIME structure I<asn1_time> to the time
I<offset_sec> after I<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 I<asn1_time> is NULL, a new ASN1_TIME structure
is allocated and returned.

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

I<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 I<asn1_time> to the time
I<offset_sec> after the current time. It is equivalent to calling
X509_time_adj() with the last parameter as NULL.

=head1 BUGS

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

=head1 RETURN VALUES

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

X509_cmp_timeframe() returns 0 if I<vpm> is not NULL and the verification
parameters do not contain B<X509_V_FLAG_USE_CHECK_TIME>
but do contain B<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.

=head1 HISTORY

X509_cmp_timeframe() was added in OpenSSL 3.0.
