       SSL_get_current_cipher, SSL_get_cipher,
       SSL_get_cipher_name, SSL_get_cipher_bits,
       SSL_get_cipher_version - get SSL_CIPHER of a connection

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        SSL_CIPHER *SSL_get_current_cipher(SSL *ssl);
        #define SSL_get_cipher(s)                         SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
        #define                            SSL_get_cipher_name(s)
SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
        #define                         SSL_get_cipher_bits(s,np)
SSL_CIPHER_get_bits(SSL_get_current_cipher(s),np)
        #define                         SSL_get_cipher_version(s)
SSL_CIPHER_get_version(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_get_current_cipher() returns a pointer to an
       SSL_CIPHER object containing the description of the actually
 used cipher of a connection established with the ssl
       object.

       SSL_get_cipher() and SSL_get_cipher_name() are identical
       macros to obtain the name of the currently used cipher.
       SSL_get_cipher_bits() is a macro to obtain the number of
       secret/algorithm bits used and SSL_get_cipher_version()
       returns the protocol name.  See SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3) for
       more details.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       SSL_get_current_cipher() returns the cipher actually used
       or NULL, when no session has been established.
