146\&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_name()\fR returns a pointer to the name of \fBcipher\fR. If the
147argument is the \s-1NULL\s0 pointer, a pointer to the constant value \*(L"\s-1NONE\s0\*(R" is
148returned.
149.PP
150\&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_bits()\fR returns the number of secret bits used for \fBcipher\fR. If
151\&\fBalg_bits\fR is not \s-1NULL\s0, it contains the number of bits processed by the
152chosen algorithm. If \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, 0 is returned.
153.PP
154\&\fISSL_CIPHER_get_version()\fR returns the protocol version for \fBcipher\fR, currently
155\&\*(L"SSLv2\*(R", \*(L"SSLv3\*(R", or \*(L"TLSv1\*(R". If \fBcipher\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, \*(L"(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R" is returned.
156.PP
157\&\fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR returns a textual description of the cipher used
158into the buffer \fBbuf\fR of length \fBlen\fR provided. \fBlen\fR must be at least
159128 bytes, otherwise a pointer to the string \*(L"Buffer too small\*(R" is
160returned. If \fBbuf\fR is \s-1NULL\s0, a buffer of 128 bytes is allocated using
161\&\fIOPENSSL_malloc()\fR. If the allocation fails, a pointer to the string
162\&\*(L"OPENSSL_malloc Error\*(R" is returned.
163.SH "NOTES"
164.IX Header "NOTES"
165The number of bits processed can be different from the secret bits. An
166export cipher like e.g. \s-1EXP\-RC4\-MD5\s0 has only 40 secret bits. The algorithm
167does use the full 128 bits (which would be returned for \fBalg_bits\fR), of
168which however 88bits are fixed. The search space is hence only 40 bits.
169.PP
170The string returned by \fISSL_CIPHER_description()\fR in case of success consists
171of cleartext information separated by one or more blanks in the following
172sequence:
