mysql_get_ssl_cipher(3) MariaDB Connector/C mysql_get_ssl_cipher(3)

mysql_get_ssl_cipher - returns the cipher suite in use

#include <mysql.h>
const char *mysql_get_ssl_cipher(MYSQL *mysql) 

Returns the name of the currently used cipher suite of the secure connection, or NULL for non TLS connections.

mysql - a connection identifier, which was previously allocated by mysql_init(3) and connected by mysql_real_connect(3).

For using mysql_get_ssl_cipher() MariaDB Connector/C must be built with TLS/SSL support, otherwise the function will return NULL.
`mysql_get_ssl_cipher()’ can be used to determine if the client server connection is secure.
Depending on the TLS library in use (OpenSSL, GnuTLS or Windows Schannel) the name of the cipher suites may differ. For example the cipher suite 0x002F (TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA) has different names: AES128-SHA for OpenSSL and Schannel and TLS_RSA_AES_128_CBC_SHA1 for GnuTLS.

Returns a zero terminated string containing the cipher suite used for a secure connection, or NULL if connection doesn’t use TLS/SSL.
