.... Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.
If the F register is turned on, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.
Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "SSL_CIPHER_get_name 3"
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
\fISSL_CIPHER_get_bits() returns the number of secret bits used for cipher. If \fBalg_bits is not \s-1NULL,\s0 it contains the number of bits processed by the chosen algorithm. If cipher is \s-1NULL, 0\s0 is returned.
\fISSL_CIPHER_get_version() returns string which indicates the \s-1SSL/TLS\s0 protocol version that first defined the cipher. This is currently SSLv2 or TLSv1/SSLv3. In some cases it should possibly return \*(L"TLSv1.2\*(R" but does not; use SSL_CIPHER_description() instead. If cipher is \s-1NULL, \*(L"\s0(\s-1NONE\s0)\*(R" is returned.
\fISSL_CIPHER_description() returns a textual description of the cipher used into the buffer buf of length len provided. len must be at least 128 bytes, otherwise a pointer to the string \*(L"Buffer too small\*(R" is returned. If buf is \s-1NULL,\s0 a buffer of 128 bytes is allocated using \fIOPENSSL_malloc(). If the allocation fails, a pointer to the string \*(L"OPENSSL_malloc Error\*(R" is returned.
The string returned by SSL_CIPHER_description() in case of success consists of cleartext information separated by one or more blanks in the following sequence:
.Vb 4 EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=RSA Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1 EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=DH Au=DSS Enc=3DES(168) Mac=SHA1 RC4-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=MD5 EXP-RC4-MD5 SSLv3 Kx=RSA(512) Au=RSA Enc=RC4(40) Mac=MD5 export .Ve
A comp[lete list can be retrieved by invoking the following command:
.Vb 1 openssl ciphers -v ALL .Ve
If SSL_CIPHER_description() cannot handle a built-in cipher, the according description of the cipher property is unknown. This case should not occur.
