'''
This example illustrates how one can use NSS to verify (validate) a
certificate. Certificate validation starts with an intended usage for
the certificate and returns a set of flags for which the certificate
is actually valid for. When a cert fails validation it can be
useful to obtain diagnostic information as to why. One of the
verification methods includes returning the diagnostic information in
what is called a log. A cert can also be checked to see if it
qualifies as a CA cert.
The actual code to verify the cert is simple and straight forward. The
complexity in this example derives mainly from handling all the
options necessary to make the example flexible.
* The certificate may either be read from a file or loaded by nickname
from a NSS database.
* You can optionally print the details the cert.
* You can specify a set of intened cert usages (each -u option adds an
other usage to the set).
* You can enable/disable checking the cert signature.
* You can enable/disable using the log variant.
* You can enable/disable verifying the cert's CA status.
* The results are pretty printed.

# exception (no pun intended). An error might be returned indicating the
# cert failed verification but you may still need access to the returned
# usage bitmask and the log (if using the log variant). To handle this a
# special error exception `CertVerifyError` (derived from `NSPRError`)
# is defined which in addition to the normal NSPRError fields will also
# contain the returned usages and optionally the CertVerifyLog
# object. If no exception is raised these are returned as normal return
# values.
