NAME

       SSL_get_ciphers, SSL_get_cipher_list - get list of available SSL_CIPHERs

SYNOPSIS

	#include <openssl/ssl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       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 avail-
       able, or there are less ciphers than priority available, NULL is returned.

NOTES

       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.

RETURN VALUES

       See DESCRIPTION
