=head1 DESCRIPTION

SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations() specifies the locations for B<ctx>, at
which CA certificates for verification purposes are located. The certificates
available via B<CAfile> and B<CApath> are trusted.

SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths() specifies that the default locations for
which CA certificates are loaded should be used. There is one default directory
and one default file.

SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_dir() is similar to
SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths() except that just the default directory is
used.

SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_file() is similar to
SSL_CTX_set_default_verify_paths() except that just the default file is
used.

=head1 NOTES

If B<CAfile> is not NULL, it points to a file of CA certificates in PEM
