+Only list supported ciphers: those consistent with the security level, and
+minimum and maximum protocol version.
+This is closer to the actual cipher list an application will support.
+
+This program does not set up support for SRP and so SRP based ciphers will
+always be excluded when using this option.
+PSK ciphers are not enabled by default and it requires the B<-psk> to enable
+them.
+It also does not change the default list of supported signature algorithms.
+
+On a server the list of supported ciphers might also exclude other ciphers
+depending on the configured certificates and presence of DH parameters.
+
+If this option is not used then all ciphers that match the cipherlist will be
+listed.
