Okay, so basically a property list with everything that might be
interesting? Or did you mean a text string?

Well, gnutls-cli displays one of those as well. So I suppose it has a
way to do that; the question is whether it's exposed in the API
somewhere. I'll go poking around. Can't promise anything about when,
though; had expected this to be a small patch that would just be enough
for me to stop using gnutls-cli to get TOFU trust... ;)
