Gets the size of the IV belonging to a specific
<parameter>cipher</parameter>/<parameter>mode</parameter> combination.

<para>
It is more useful to use the <function>mcrypt_enc_get_iv_size</function>
function as this uses the resource returned by
<function>mcrypt_module_open</function>.

<para>
The IV is ignored in ECB mode as this mode does not require it. You will
need to have the same IV (think: starting point) both at encryption and
decryption stages, otherwise your encryption will fail.

<para>
Returns the size of the Initialization Vector (IV) in bytes. On error the
function returns &false;. If the IV is ignored in the specified cipher/mode
combination zero is returned.
