.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This function checks if certificate \fIx\fR was created with the purpose
represented by \fIid\fR. If \fIca\fR is nonzero, then certificate \fIx\fR is
checked to determine if it's a possible \s-1CA\s0 with various levels of certainty
possibly returned.
.PP
Below are the potential \s-1ID\s0's that can be checked:
