16 BIO_s_socket() returns the socket BIO method. This is a wrapper round
17 the platform's socket routines.
18
19 BIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() read or write the underlying socket.
20 BIO_puts() is supported but BIO_gets() is not.
21
22 If the close flag is set then the socket is shut down and closed when
23 the BIO is freed.
24
25 BIO_new_socket() returns a socket BIO using sock and close_flag.
26
28 Socket BIOs also support any relevant functionality of file descriptor
29 BIOs.
30
31 The reason for having separate file descriptor and socket BIOs is that
32 on some platforms sockets are not file descriptors and use distinct I/O
33 routines, Windows is one such platform. Any code mixing the two will
34 not work on all platforms.
35
37 BIO_s_socket() returns the socket BIO method.
38
39 BIO_new_socket() returns the newly allocated BIO or NULL is an error
40 occurred.
