53.Os
54.Sh NAME
55.Nm SSL_get_ciphers ,
56.Nm SSL_get_cipher_list
57.Nd get list of available SSL_CIPHERs
58.Sh SYNOPSIS
59.In openssl/ssl.h
60.Ft STACK_OF(SSL_CIPHER) *
61.Fn SSL_get_ciphers "const SSL *ssl"
62.Ft const char *
63.Fn SSL_get_cipher_list "const SSL *ssl" "int priority"
64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65.Fn SSL_get_ciphers
66returns the stack of available
67.Vt SSL_CIPHER Ns s
68for
69.Fa ssl ,
70sorted by preference.
71If
72.Fa ssl
73is
74.Dv NULL
75or no ciphers are available,
76.Dv NULL
77is returned.
78.Pp
79.Fn SSL_get_ciphers
80returns a pointer to an internal cipher stack, which will be freed
81later on when the
82.Vt SSL
83object is freed.
84Therefore, the calling code must not free the return value itself.
85.Pp
86The details of the ciphers obtained by
87.Fn SSL_get_ciphers
88can be obtained using the
89.Xr SSL_CIPHER_get_name 3
90family of functions.
91.Pp
92.Fn SSL_get_cipher_list
93returns a pointer to the name of the
94.Vt SSL_CIPHER
95listed for
96.Fa ssl
97with
98.Fa priority .
99If
100.Fa ssl
101is
102.Dv NULL ,
103no ciphers are available, or there are fewer ciphers than
104.Fa priority
105available,
106.Dv NULL
107is returned.
108.Pp
109Call
110.Fn SSL_get_cipher_list
111with
112.Fa priority
113starting from 0 to obtain the sorted list of available ciphers, until
114.Dv NULL
115is returned.
