       _S_S_L___g_e_t___c_u_r_r_e_n_t___c_i_p_h_e_r_(_) returns a pointer to an SSL_CIPHER object con-
       taining the description of the actually used cipher of a connection
       established with the ssssll object.

       _S_S_L___g_e_t___c_i_p_h_e_r_(_) and _S_S_L___g_e_t___c_i_p_h_e_r___n_a_m_e_(_) are identical macros to
       obtain the name of the currently used cipher. _S_S_L___g_e_t___c_i_p_h_e_r___b_i_t_s_(_) is
       a macro to obtain the number of secret/algorithm bits used and
       _S_S_L___g_e_t___c_i_p_h_e_r___v_e_r_s_i_o_n_(_) returns the protocol name.  See
       _S_S_L___C_I_P_H_E_R___g_e_t___n_a_m_e(3) for more details.

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