1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5SSL_get_current_cipher, SSL_get_cipher_name, SSL_get_cipher, 6SSL_get_cipher_bits, SSL_get_cipher_version, 7SSL_get_pending_cipher - get SSL_CIPHER of a connection 8 9=head1 SYNOPSIS 10 11 #include <openssl/ssl.h> 12 13 SSL_CIPHER *SSL_get_current_cipher(const SSL *ssl); 14 SSL_CIPHER *SSL_get_pending_cipher(const SSL *ssl); 15 16 const char *SSL_get_cipher_name(const SSL *s); 17 const char *SSL_get_cipher(const SSL *s); 18 int SSL_get_cipher_bits(const SSL *s, int *np); 19 const char *SSL_get_cipher_version(const SSL *s); 20 21=head1 DESCRIPTION 22 23SSL_get_current_cipher() returns a pointer to an SSL_CIPHER object containing 24the description of the actually used cipher of a connection established with 25the B<ssl> object. 26See L<SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3)> for more details. 27 28SSL_get_cipher_name() obtains the 29name of the currently used cipher. 30SSL_get_cipher() is identical to SSL_get_cipher_name(). 31SSL_get_cipher_bits() is a 32macro to obtain the number of secret/algorithm bits used and 33SSL_get_cipher_version() returns the protocol name. 34 35SSL_get_pending_cipher() returns a pointer to an SSL_CIPHER object containing 36the description of the cipher (if any) that has been negotiated for future use 37on the connection established with the B<ssl> object, but is not yet in use. 38This may be the case during handshake processing, when control flow can be 39returned to the application via any of several callback methods. The internal 40sequencing of handshake processing and callback invocation is not guaranteed 41to be stable from release to release, and at present only the callback set 42by SSL_CTX_set_alpn_select_cb() is guaranteed to have a non-NULL return value. 43Other callbacks may be added to this list over time. 44 45=head1 RETURN VALUES 46 47SSL_get_current_cipher() returns the cipher actually used, or NULL if 48no session has been established. 49 50SSL_get_pending_cipher() returns the cipher to be used at the next change 51of cipher suite, or NULL if no such cipher is known. 52 53=head1 NOTES 54 55SSL_get_cipher, SSL_get_cipher_bits, SSL_get_cipher_version, and 56SSL_get_cipher_name are implemented as macros. 57 58=head1 SEE ALSO 59 60L<ssl(7)>, L<SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3)> 61 62=head1 COPYRIGHT 63 64Copyright 2000-2018 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
