+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_get_peer_certificate - get the X509 certificate of the peer
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ X509 *SSL_get_peer_certificate(SSL *ssl);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_get_peer_certificate() returns a pointer to the X509 certificate the
+peer presented. If the peer did not present a certificate, NULL is returned.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+That a certificate is returned does not indicate information about the
+verification state, use L<SSL_get_verify_result(3)|SSL_get_verify_result(3)>
+to check the verification state.
+
+The reference count of the X509 object is incremented by one, so that it
+will not be destroyed when the session containing the peer certificate is
+freed. The X509 object must be explicitely freed using X509_free().
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+The following return values can occur:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item NULL
+
+No certificate was presented by the peer or no connection was established.
+
+=item Pointer to an X509 certificate
+
+The return value points to the certificate presented by the peer.
