+SSL_get_shared_ciphers() creates a colon separated and NUL terminated list of
+SSL_CIPHER names that are available in both the client and the server. B<buf> is
+the buffer that should be populated with the list of names and B<size> is the
+size of that buffer. A pointer to B<buf> is returned on success or NULL on
+error. If the supplied buffer is not large enough to contain the complete list
+of names then a truncated list of names will be returned. Note that just because
+a ciphersuite is available (i.e. it is configured in the cipher list) and shared
+by both the client and the server it does not mean that it is enabled (see the
+description of SSL_get1_supported_ciphers() above). This function will return
+available shared ciphersuites whether or not they are enabled. This is a server
+side function only and must only be called after the completion of the initial
+handshake.
