DESCRIPTION

19       BIO_s_fd() returns the file descriptor BIO method. This is a wrapper
20       round the platforms file descriptor routines such as read() and
21       write().
22
23       BIO_read() and BIO_write() read or write the underlying descriptor.
24       BIO_puts() is supported but BIO_gets() is not.
25
26       If the close flag is set then then close() is called on the underlying
27       file descriptor when the BIO is freed.
28
29       BIO_reset() attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file
30       using lseek(fd, 0, 0).
31
32       BIO_seek() sets the file pointer to position ofs from start of file
33       using lseek(fd, ofs, 0).
34
35       BIO_tell() returns the current file position by calling lseek(fd, 0,
36       1).
37
38       BIO_set_fd() sets the file descriptor of BIO b to fd and the close flag
39       to c.
40
41       BIO_get_fd() places the file descriptor in c if it is not NULL, it also
42       returns the file descriptor. If c is not NULL it should be of type (int
43       *).
44
45       BIO_new_fd() returns a file descriptor BIO using fd and close_flag.
46

NOTES

48       The behaviour of BIO_read() and BIO_write() depends on the behavior of
49       the platforms read() and write() calls on the descriptor. If the
50       underlying file descriptor is in a non blocking mode then the BIO will
51       behave in the manner described in the BIO_read(3) and
52       BIO_should_retry(3) manual pages.
53
54       File descriptor BIOs should not be used for socket I/O. Use socket BIOs
55       instead.
56

RETURN VALUES

58       BIO_s_fd() returns the file descriptor BIO method.
59
60       BIO_reset() returns zero for success and -1 if an error occurred.
61       BIO_seek() and BIO_tell() return the current file position or -1 is an
62       error occurred. These values reflect the underlying lseek() behaviour.
63
64       BIO_set_fd() always returns 1.
65
66       BIO_get_fd() returns the file descriptor or -1 if the BIO has not been
67       initialized.
68
69       BIO_new_fd() returns the newly allocated BIO or NULL is an error
70       occurred.
71

EXAMPLE

73       This is a file descriptor BIO version of "Hello World":
74
75        BIO *out;
76        out = BIO_new_fd(fileno(stdout), BIO_NOCLOSE);
77        BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
78        BIO_free(out);
