+.TH CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER \- verify the peer's SSL certificate
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, long verify);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a long as parameter to enable or disable.
+
+This option determines whether curl verifies the authenticity of the peer's
+certificate. A value of 1 means curl verifies; 0 (zero) means it doesn't.
+
+When negotiating a TLS or SSL connection, the server sends a certificate
+indicating its identity. Curl verifies whether the certificate is authentic,
+i.e. that you can trust that the server is who the certificate says it is.
+This trust is based on a chain of digital signatures, rooted in certification
+authority (CA) certificates you supply. curl uses a default bundle of CA
+certificates (the path for that is determined at build time) and you can
+specify alternate certificates with the \fICURLOPT_CAINFO(3)\fP option or the
+\fICURLOPT_CAPATH(3)\fP option.
+
+When \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP is enabled, and the verification fails to
+prove that the certificate is authentic, the connection fails. When the
+option is zero, the peer certificate verification succeeds regardless.
+
+Authenticating the certificate is not enough to be sure about the server. You
+typically also want to ensure that the server is the server you mean to be
+talking to. Use \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)\fP for that. The check that the
+host name in the certificate is valid for the host name you're connecting to
+is done independently of the \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP option.
+.SH DEFAULT
+By default, curl assumes a value of 1.
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3, SMTPS etc.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+If built TLS enabled.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
