+=head1 NAME
+
+SSL_CIPHER_get_name, SSL_CIPHER_get_bits, SSL_CIPHER_get_version,
+SSL_CIPHER_description - get SSL_CIPHER properties
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/ssl.h>
+
+ const char *SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_CIPHER *cipher);
+ int SSL_CIPHER_get_bits(SSL_CIPHER *cipher, int *alg_bits);
+ char *SSL_CIPHER_get_version(SSL_CIPHER *cipher);
+ char *SSL_CIPHER_description(SSL_CIPHER *cipher, char *buf, int size);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+SSL_CIPHER_get_name() returns a pointer to the name of B<cipher>. If the
+argument is the NULL pointer, a pointer to the constant value "NONE" is
+returned.
+
+SSL_CIPHER_get_bits() returns the number of secret bits used for B<cipher>. If
+B<alg_bits> is not NULL, it contains the number of bits processed by the
+chosen algorithm. If B<cipher> is NULL, 0 is returned.
+
+SSL_CIPHER_get_version() returns the protocol version for B<cipher>, currently
+"SSLv2", "SSLv3", or "TLSv1". If B<cipher> is NULL, "(NONE)" is returned.
+
+SSL_CIPHER_description() returns a textual description of the cipher used
+into the buffer B<buf> of length B<len> provided. B<len> must be at least
+128 bytes, otherwise the string "Buffer too small" is returned. If B<buf>
+is NULL, a buffer of 128 bytes is allocated using OPENSSL_malloc(). If the
+allocation fails, the string "OPENSSL_malloc Error" is returned.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+The number of bits processed can be different from the secret bits. An
+export cipher like e.g. EXP-RC4-MD5 has only 40 secret bits. The algorithm
+does use the full 128 bits (which would be returned for B<alg_bits>), of
+which however 88bits are fixed. The search space is hence only 40 bits.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+If SSL_CIPHER_description() is called with B<cipher> being NULL, the
+library crashes.
