+get_client_hello_ciphers
+----------------------------
+**syntax:** *ciphers, err = ssl_clt.get_client_hello_ciphers()*
+
+**context:** *ssl_client_hello_by_lua**
+
+Returns a Lua table containing the decimal representations of the ciphers sent by the client on success.
+
+GREASE ciphers are also returned by the underlying OPENSSL function (SSL_client_hello_get0_ciphers) but excluded by the lua implementation of get_client_hello_ciphers().
+
+In case of errors, `nil` and a string describing the error are returned.
+
+This function can only be called in the context of [ssl_client_hello_by_lua*](https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module/#ssl_client_hello_by_lua_block).

+```nginx
+# nginx.conf
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl;
+    server_name   test.com;
+    ssl_client_hello_by_lua_block {

+GREASE extensions are excluded by the underlying OPENSSL function (SSL_client_hello_get1_extensions_present)
