SSL_get_ciphers(3)           OpenSSL           SSL_get_ciphers(3)

NAME

     SSL_get_ciphers, SSL_get_cipher_list, SSL_get_shared_ciphers
     - 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);
      char *SSL_get_shared_ciphers(const SSL *s, char *buf, int size);

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

     SSL_get_shared_ciphers() creates a colon separated and NUL
     terminated list of SSL_CIPHER names that are available in
     both the client and the server. buf is the buffer that
     should be populated with the list of names and size is the
     size of that buffer. A pointer to buf is returned on success
     or NULL on error. If the supplied buffer is not large enough
     to contain the complete list of names then a truncated list
     of names will be returned. Note that just because a
     ciphersuite is available (i.e. it is configured in the
     cipher list) and shared by both the client and the server it
     does not mean that it is enabled (for example some ciphers
     may not be usable by a server if there is not a suitable
     certificate configured). This function will return available
     shared ciphersuites whether or not they are enabled. This is
     a server side function only and must only be called after
     the completion of the initial handshake.

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.
