You full code from wiki is:

        const char *servername;
	SSL *ssl;
	X509_VERIFY_PARAM *param;

	servername = "www.example.com";
	ssl = SSL_new(...);
	param = SSL_get0_param(ssl);

	/* Enable automatic hostname checks */
	X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_hostflags(param, X509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_PARTIAL_WILDCARDS);
	X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host(param, servername, 0);

	/* Configure a non-zero callback if desired */
	SSL_set_verify(ssl, SSL_VERIFY_PEER, 0);

	/*
	 * Establish SSL connection, hostname should be checked
	 * automatically test with a hostname that should not match,
	 * the connection will fail (unless you specify a callback
	 * that returns despite the verification failure.  In that
	 * case SSL_get_verify_status() can expose the problem after
	 * connection completion.
	 */
	 ...

You set here only "param":
	X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set_hostflags(param, X509_CHECK_FLAG_NO_PARTIAL_WILDCARDS);
	X509_VERIFY_PARAM_set1_host(param, servername, 0);

But how this variable is associated with "ssl" object or "ctx" object?
I don't understand really! Please explain more in detail.

I know this function only SSL_CTX_set1_param() that associates "param"  with context "ctx".
