  152. This function checks if certificate \fIx\fR was created with the purpose
  153. represented by \fIid\fR. If \fIca\fR is nonzero, then certificate \fIx\fR is
  154. checked to determine if it's a possible \s-1CA\s0 with various levels of certainty
  155. possibly returned. The certificate \fIx\fR must be a complete certificate
  156. otherwise the function returns an error.
