+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This set of functions are used to compare X509 objects, including X509
+certificates, X509 CRL objects and various values in an X509 certificate.
+
+The X509_cmp() function compares two B<X509> objects indicated by parameters
+B<a> and B<b>. The comparison is based on the B<memcmp> result of the hash
+values of two B<X509> objects and the canonical (DER) encoding values.
+
+The X509_NAME_cmp() function compares two B<X509_NAME> objects indicated by
+parameters B<a> and B<b>. The comparison is based on the B<memcmp> result of
+the canonical (DER) encoding values of the two objects. L<i2d_X509_NAME(3)>
+has a more detailed description of the DER encoding of the B<X509_NAME> structure.
+
+The X509_issuer_and_serial_cmp() function compares the serial number and issuer
+values in the given B<X509> objects B<a> and B<b>.
+
+The X509_issuer_name_cmp(), X509_subject_name_cmp() and X509_CRL_cmp() functions
+are effectively wrappers of the X509_NAME_cmp() function. These functions compare
+issuer names and subject names of the X<509> objects, or issuers of B<X509_CRL>
+objects, respectively.
+
+The X509_CRL_match() function compares two B<X509_CRL> objects. Unlike the
+X509_CRL_cmp() function, this function compares the whole CRL content instead
+of just the issuer name.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+Like common memory comparison functions, the B<X509> comparison functions return
+an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if object B<a> is found to
+be less than, to match, or be greater than object B<b>, respectively.
+
+X509_NAME_cmp(), X509_issuer_and_serial_cmp(), X509_issuer_name_cmp(),
+X509_subject_name_cmp() and X509_CRL_cmp() may return B<-2> to indicate an error.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+These functions in fact utilize the underlying B<memcmp> of the C library to do
+the comparison job. Data to be compared varies from DER encoding data, hash
+value or B<ASN1_STRING>. The sign of the comparison can be used to order the
+objects but it does not have a special meaning in some cases.
+
+X509_NAME_cmp() and wrappers utilize the value B<-2> to indicate errors in some
+circumstances, which could cause confusion for the applications.
