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

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

The details of the ciphers obtained by <CODE>SSL_get_ciphers()</CODE> can
be obtained using the <A HREF="../ssl/SSL_CIPHER_get_name.html#">SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3)</A> family of functions.

Call <CODE>SSL_get_cipher_list()</CODE> with <STRONG>priority</STRONG> starting from 0 to obtain the sorted list of available ciphers, until NULL
is returned.
