#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.
