-=head1 NAME
-
-SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list, SSL_set_cipher_list
-- choose list of available SSL_CIPHERs
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- #include <openssl/ssl.h>
-
- int SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(SSL_CTX *ctx, const char *str);
- int SSL_set_cipher_list(SSL *ssl, const char *str);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list() sets the list of available ciphers for B<ctx>
-using the control string B<str>. The format of the string is described
-in L<ciphers(1)|ciphers(1)>. The list of ciphers is inherited by all
-B<ssl> objects created from B<ctx>.
-
-SSL_set_cipher_list() sets the list of ciphers only for B<ssl>.
-
-=head1 NOTES
-
-The control string B<str> should be universally usable and not depend
-on details of the library configuration (ciphers compiled in). Thus no
-syntax checking takes place. Items that are not recognized, because the
-corresponding ciphers are not compiled in or because they are mistyped,
-are simply ignored. Failure is only flagged if no ciphers could be collected
-at all.
-
-It should be noted, that inclusion of a cipher to be used into the list is
-a necessary condition. On the client side, the inclusion into the list is
-also sufficient. On the server side, additional restrictions apply. All ciphers
-have additional requirements. ADH ciphers don't need a certificate, but
-DH-parameters must have been set. All other ciphers need a corresponding
-certificate and key. A RSA cipher can only be chosen, when a RSA certificate is
-available, the respective is valid for DSA ciphers. Ciphers using EDH need
-a certificate and key and DH-parameters.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUES
-
-SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list() and SSL_set_cipher_list() return 1 if any cipher
-could be selected and 0 on complete failure.
