ARGUMENTS
const gnutls_x509_crt_t * cert_list
is the certificate list to be verified
int cert_list_length

const gnutls_x509_crt_t * CA_list

DESCRIPTION
This function will try to verify the given certificate list and return
its status. Note that expiration and activation dates are not checked
by this function, you should check them using the appropriate func‐
tions.
If no flags are specified (0), this function will use the basic‐
Constraints (2.5.29.19) PKIX extension. This means that only a certifi‐
cate authority is allowed to sign a certificate.
You must also check the peer's name in order to check if the verified
certificate belongs to the actual peer.
The certificate verification output will be put in verify and will be
one or more of the gnutls_certificate_status_t enumerated elements bit‐
wise or'd. For a more detailed verification status use
gnutls_x509_crt_verify() per list element.
GNUTLS_CERT_INVALID
the certificate chain is not valid.
GNUTLS_CERT_REVOKED
a certificate in the chain has been revoked.
Returns 0 on success and a negative value in case of an error.
