NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_get_ciphers, SSL_get_cipher_list - get list of available
 SSL_CIPHERs

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        STACK_OF(SSL_CIPHER) *SSL_get_ciphers(SSL *ssl);
        const char *SSL_get_cipher_list(SSL *ssl, int priority);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_get_ciphers() returns the stack of available
       SSL_CIPHERs for ssl, sorted by preference. If ssl is NULL
       or no ciphers are available, NULL is returned.

       SSL_get_cipher_list() returns a pointer to the name of the
       SSL_CIPHER listed for ssl with priority. If ssl is NULL,
       no ciphers are available, or there are less ciphers than
       priority available, NULL is returned.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The details of the ciphers obtained by SSL_get_ciphers()
       can be obtained using the SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3) family of
       functions.

       Call SSL_get_cipher_list() with priority starting from 0
       to obtain the sorted list of available ciphers, until NULL
       is returned.
