DESCRIPTION
The BIO_METHOD type is a structure used for the implementation of new
The set of standard OpenSSL provided BIO types is provided in
<openssl/bio.h>. Some examples include BIO_TYPE_BUFFER and
BIO_TYPE_CIPHER. Filter BIOs should have a type which have the "filter"
bit set (BIO_TYPE_FILTER). Source/sink BIOs should have the
"source/sink" bit set (BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK). File descriptor based
BIOs (e.g. socket, fd, connect, accept etc) should additionally have
the "descriptor" bit set (BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR). See the
BIO_find_type(3) page for more information.
BIO_meth_free() destroys a BIO_METHOD structure and frees up any memory
associated with it.
BIO_meth_get_write_ex() and BIO_meth_set_write_ex() get and set the
function used for writing arbitrary length data to the BIO
respectively. This function will be called in response to the
application calling BIO_write_ex() or BIO_write(). The parameters for
the function have the same meaning as for BIO_write_ex(). Older code
may call BIO_meth_get_write() and BIO_meth_set_write() instead.
Applications should not call both BIO_meth_set_write_ex() and
BIO_meth_set_write() or call BIO_meth_get_write() when the function was
set with BIO_meth_set_write_ex().
BIO_meth_get_read_ex() and BIO_meth_set_read_ex() get and set the
function used for reading arbitrary length data from the BIO
respectively. This function will be called in response to the
application calling BIO_read_ex() or BIO_read(). The parameters for
the function have the same meaning as for BIO_read_ex(). Older code
may call BIO_meth_get_read() and BIO_meth_set_read() instead.
Applications should not call both BIO_meth_set_read_ex() and
BIO_meth_set_read() or call BIO_meth_get_read() when the function was
set with BIO_meth_set_read_ex().
BIO_meth_get_puts() and BIO_meth_set_puts() get and set the function
used for writing a NULL terminated string to the BIO respectively. This
function will be called in response to the application calling
BIO_puts(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as
for BIO_puts().
BIO_meth_get_gets() and BIO_meth_set_gets() get and set the function
typically used for reading a line of data from the BIO respectively
(see the BIO_gets(3) page for more information). This function will be
called in response to the application calling BIO_gets(). The
parameters for the function have the same meaning as for BIO_gets().
BIO_meth_get_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_ctrl() get and set the function
used for processing ctrl messages in the BIO respectively. See the
BIO_ctrl(3) page for more information. This function will be called in
response to the application calling BIO_ctrl(). The parameters for the
function have the same meaning as for BIO_ctrl().
BIO_meth_get_create() and BIO_meth_set_create() get and set the
function used for creating a new instance of the BIO respectively. This
function will be called in response to the application calling
BIO_new() and passing in a pointer to the current BIO_METHOD. The
BIO_new() function will allocate the memory for the new BIO, and a
pointer to this newly allocated structure will be passed as a parameter
to the function. If a create function is set, BIO_new() will not mark
the BIO as initialised on allocation. BIO_set_init(3) must then be
parameter. The destroy function should be used for BIO specific clean
up. The memory for the BIO itself should not be freed by this function.
BIO_meth_get_callback_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_callback_ctrl() get and
set the function used for processing callback ctrl messages in the BIO
respectively. See the BIO_callback_ctrl(3) page for more information.
This function will be called in response to the application calling
BIO_callback_ctrl(). The parameters for the function have the same
meaning as for BIO_callback_ctrl().
RETURN VALUES
BIO_get_new_index() returns the new BIO type value or -1 if an error
occurred.
BIO_meth_new(int type, const char *name) returns a valid BIO_METHOD or
NULL if an error occurred.
The BIO_meth_set functions return 1 on success or 0 on error.
The BIO_meth_get functions return the corresponding function pointers.
