# SSLGetEnabledCiphers(_:_:_:) Determines which SSL cipher suites are currently enabled. ``` func SSLGetEnabledCiphers(_ context: SSLContext, _ ciphers: UnsafeMutablePointer, _ numCiphers: UnsafeMutablePointer) -> OSStatus ``` ## Parameters `context` An SSL session context reference. `ciphers` On return, points to the enabled cipher suites. Before calling, you must allocate this buffer using the number of enabled cipher suites retrieved from a call to the [`SSLGetNumberEnabledCiphers(_:_:)`](/documentation/Security/SSLGetNumberEnabledCiphers(_:_:)) function. `numCiphers` Pointer to the number of enabled cipher suites. Before calling, retrieve this value by calling the [`SSLGetNumberEnabledCiphers(_:_:)`](/documentation/Security/SSLGetNumberEnabledCiphers(_:_:)) function. ## Return Value A result code. See [Secure Transport Result Codes](/documentation/Security/secure-transport-result-codes). If the supplied buffer is too small, [`errSSLBufferOverflow`](/documentation/Security/errSSLBufferOverflow) is returned. ## Discussion Call the [`SSLSetEnabledCiphers(_:_:_:)`](/documentation/Security/SSLSetEnabledCiphers(_:_:_:)) function to specify which SSL cipher suites are enabled. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
