+@deftypefun {void} {gnutls_session_set_verify_cert} (gnutls_session_t @var{session}, const char * @var{hostname}, unsigned @var{flags})
+@var{session}: is a gnutls session
+
+@var{hostname}: is the expected name of the peer; may be @code{NULL} 
+
+@var{flags}: flags for certificate verification -- @code{gnutls_certificate_verify_flags} 
+
+This function instructs GnuTLS to verify the peer's certificate
+using the provided hostname. If the verification fails the handshake
+will also fail with @code{GNUTLS_E_CERTIFICATE_VERIFICATION_ERROR} . In that
+case the verification result can be obtained using @code{gnutls_session_get_verify_cert_status()} .
+
+The  @code{hostname} pointer provided must remain valid for the lifetime
+of the session. More precisely it should be available during any subsequent
+handshakes. If no hostname is provided, no hostname verification
+will be performed. For a more advanced verification function check
+@code{gnutls_session_set_verify_cert2()} .
+
+If  @code{flags} is provided which contain a profile, this function should be
+called after any session priority setting functions.
+
+The @code{gnutls_session_set_verify_cert()}  function is intended to be used by TLS
+clients to verify the server's certificate.
