# NAME

SSL_get1_supported_ciphers, SSL_get_client_ciphers, SSL_get_ciphers, SSL_CTX_get_ciphers, SSL_get_cipher_list, SSL_get_shared_ciphers - get list of available SSL_CIPHERs

# SYNOPSIS

     #include <openssl/ssl.h>

     STACK_OF(SSL_CIPHER) *SSL_get_ciphers(const SSL *ssl);
     STACK_OF(SSL_CIPHER) *SSL_CTX_get_ciphers(const SSL_CTX *ctx);
     STACK_OF(SSL_CIPHER) *SSL_get1_supported_ciphers(SSL *s);
     STACK_OF(SSL_CIPHER) *SSL_get_client_ciphers(const SSL *ssl);
     const char *SSL_get_cipher_list(const SSL *ssl, int priority);
     char *SSL_get_shared_ciphers(const SSL *s, char *buf, int size);

# DESCRIPTION

SSL_get_ciphers() returns the stack of available SSL_CIPHERs for ssl, sorted by preference. If ssl is NULL or no ciphers are available, NULL is returned.

SSL_CTX_get_ciphers() returns the stack of available SSL_CIPHERs for ctx.

SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() returns the stack of enabled SSL_CIPHERs for ssl as would be sent in a ClientHello (that is, sorted by preference). The list depends on settings like the cipher list, the supported protocol versions, the security level, and the enabled signature algorithms. SRP and PSK ciphers are only enabled if the appropriate callbacks or settings have been applied. The list of ciphers that would be sent in a ClientHello can differ from the list of ciphers that would be acceptable when acting as a server. For example, additional ciphers may be usable by a server if there is a gap in the list of supported protocols, and some ciphers may not be usable by a server if there is not a suitable certificate configured. If ssl is NULL or no ciphers are available, NULL is returned.

SSL_get_client_ciphers() returns the stack of available SSL_CIPHERs matching the list received from the client on ssl. If ssl is NULL, no ciphers are available, or ssl is not operating in server mode, NULL is returned.

SSL_get_cipher_list() returns a pointer to the name of the SSL_CIPHER listed for ssl with priority. If ssl is NULL, no ciphers are available, or there are less ciphers than priority available, NULL is returned.

SSL_get_shared_ciphers() creates a colon separated and NUL terminated list of SSL_CIPHER names that are available in both the client and the server. buf is the buffer that should be populated with the list of names and size is the size of that buffer. A pointer to buf is returned on success or NULL on error. If the supplied buffer is not large enough to contain the complete list of names then a truncated list of names will be returned. Note that just because a ciphersuite is available (i.e. it is configured in the cipher list) and shared by both the client and the server it does not mean that it is enabled (see the description of SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() above). This function will return available shared ciphersuites whether or not they are enabled. This is a server side function only and must only be called after the completion of the initial handshake.

# NOTES

The details of the ciphers obtained by SSL_get_ciphers(), SSL_CTX_get_ciphers() SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() and SSL_get_client_ciphers() can be obtained using the RETURN VALUES
