DESCRIPTION
SSL_get_current_cipher() returns a pointer to anSSL_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 orNULL,
when
no session has been established.
