24 SSL_get_current_cipher() returns a pointer to an SSL_CIPHER object containing
25 the description of the actually used cipher of a connection established with
28 SSL_get_cipher() and SSL_get_cipher_name() are identical macros to obtain the
29 name of the currently used cipher. SSL_get_cipher_bits() is a
30 macro to obtain the number of secret/algorithm bits used and
31 SSL_get_cipher_version() returns the protocol name.
32 See L<SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3)|SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3)> for more details.
36 SSL_get_current_cipher() returns the cipher actually used or NULL, when
37 no session has been established.
