       SSL_get_cipher_version - get SSL_CIPHER of a connection


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        SSL_CIPHER *SSL_get_current_cipher(SSL *ssl);
        #define SSL_get_cipher(s) \
                       SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
        #define SSL_get_cipher_name(s) \
                       SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
        #define SSL_get_cipher_bits(s,np) \
                       SSL_CIPHER_get_bits(SSL_get_current_cipher(s),np)
        #define SSL_get_cipher_version(s) \
                       SSL_CIPHER_get_version(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))


DESCRIPTION

       SSL_get_current_cipher() returns a pointer to an
       SSL_CIPHER object containing the description of the
       actually used cipher of a connection established with the
       ssl object.

       SSL_get_cipher() and SSL_get_cipher_name() are identical
       macros to obtain the name of the currently used cipher.
       SSL_get_cipher_bits() is a macro to obtain the number of
       secret/algorithm bits used and SSL_get_cipher_version()
       returns the protocol name.  See SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3) for
       more details.


RETURN VALUES

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