X509_check_host() checks if the certificate Subject Alternative
-Name (SAN) or Subject CommonName (CN) matches the specified host
-name, which must be encoded in the preferred name syntax described
+Name (SAN) or Subject CommonName (CN) matches the specified hostname,
+which must be encoded in the preferred name syntax described
in section 3.5 of RFC 1034. By default, wildcards are supported
and they match only in the left-most label; but they may match
part of that label with an explicit prefix or suffix. For example,
domain names must be given in A-label form. The B<namelen> argument
must be the number of characters in the name string or zero in which
case the length is calculated with strlen(B<name>). When B<name> starts
-with a dot (e.g ".example.com"), it will be matched by a certificate
+with a dot (e.g. ".example.com"), it will be matched by a certificate
valid for any sub-domain of B<name>, (see also
