Rich Salz 9b86974e0c Fix L<> content in manpages
L<foo|foo> is sub-optimal  If the xref is the same as the title,
which is what we do, then you only need L<foo>.  This fixes all
1457 occurrences in 349 files.  Approximately.  (And pod used to
need both.)

=head1 NAME
SSL_get_current_cipher, SSL_get_cipher, SSL_get_cipher_name,
SSL_get_cipher_bits, SSL_get_cipher_version - get SSL_CIPHER of a connection
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
SSL_CIPHER *SSL_get_current_cipher(const SSL *ssl);
#define SSL_get_cipher(s) \
SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
#define SSL_get_cipher_name(s) \
SSL_CIPHER_get_name(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
#define SSL_get_cipher_bits(s,np) \
SSL_CIPHER_get_bits(SSL_get_current_cipher(s),np)
#define SSL_get_cipher_version(s) \
SSL_CIPHER_get_version(SSL_get_current_cipher(s))
=head1 DESCRIPTION
SSL_get_current_cipher() returns a pointer to an SSL_CIPHER object containing
the description of the actually used cipher of a connection established with
the B<ssl> object.
SSL_get_cipher() and SSL_get_cipher_name() are identical macros to obtain the
name of the currently used cipher. SSL_get_cipher_bits() is a
macro to obtain the number of secret/algorithm bits used and
SSL_get_cipher_version() returns the protocol name.
See L<SSL_CIPHER_get_name(3)> for more details.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
SSL_get_current_cipher() returns the cipher actually used or NULL, when
no session has been established.
