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

   Name
       mysql_get_ssl_cipher - returns the cipher suite in use

   Synopsis

              #include <mysql.h>

              const char *mysql_get_ssl_cipher(MYSQL *mysql)


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

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

   Notes
       o For using mysql_get_ssl_cipher() MariaDB Connector/C must be built
         with TLS/SSL support, otherwise the function will return NULL.

       o `mysql_get_ssl_cipher()' can be used to determine if the client
         server connection is secure.

       o 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.

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