SSLgetcurrentcipher(3) OpenSSL SSLgetcurrentcipher(3)

NAME
       SSLgetcurrentcipher, SSLgetcipher, SSLgetciphername,
       SSLgetcipherbits, SSLgetcipherversion - get SSLCIPHER of a
       connection

SYNOPSIS
        #include 

        SSLCIPHER *SSLgetcurrentcipher(const SSL *ssl);
        #define SSLgetcipher(s) \
                       SSLCIPHERgetname(SSLgetcurrentcipher(s))
        #define SSLgetciphername(s) \
                       SSLCIPHERgetname(SSLgetcurrentcipher(s))
        #define SSLgetcipherbits(s,np) \
                       SSLCIPHERgetbits(SSLgetcurrentcipher(s),np)
        #define SSLgetcipherversion(s) \
                       SSLCIPHERgetversion(SSLgetcurrentcipher(s))

DESCRIPTION
       SSLgetcurrentcipher() returns a pointer to an SSLCIPHER object
       containing the description of the actually used cipher of a connection
       established with the ssssll object.

       SSLgetcipher() and SSLgetciphername() are identical macros to
       obtain the name of the currently used cipher. SSLgetcipherbits() is
       a macro to obtain the number of secret/algorithm bits used and
       SSLgetcipherversion() returns the protocol name.  See
       SSLCIPHERgetname(3) for more details.

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