=head1 NAME

SSL_get_ciphers,
SSL_get_cipher_list,
SSL_get_shared_ciphers
- get list of available SSL_CIPHERs

=head1 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);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

SSL_get_ciphers() returns the stack of available SSL_CIPHERs for B<ssl>,
sorted by preference. If B<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 B<ssl> with B<priority>. If B<ssl> is NULL, no ciphers are
available, or there are less ciphers than B<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. B<buf> is
the buffer that should be populated with the list of names and B<size> is the
size of that buffer. A pointer to B<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.

=head1 NOTES

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

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