DESCRIPTION

60       The BIO_METHOD type is a structure used for the implementation of new
61       BIO types. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the
62       implementation of the various BIO capabilities. See the bio page for
63       more information.
64
65       BIO_meth_new() creates a new BIO_METHOD structure. It should be given a
66       unique integer type and a string that represents its name.  Use
67       BIO_get_new_index() to get the value for type.
68
69       The set of standard OpenSSL provided BIO types is provided in bio.h.
70       Some examples include BIO_TYPE_BUFFER and BIO_TYPE_CIPHER. Filter BIOs
71       should have a type which have the "filter" bit set (BIO_TYPE_FILTER).
72       Source/sink BIOs should have the "source/sink" bit set
73       (BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK). File descriptor based BIOs (e.g. socket, fd,
74       connect, accept etc) should additionally have the "descriptor" bit set
75       (BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR). See the BIO_find_type page for more information.
76
77       BIO_meth_free() destroys a BIO_METHOD structure and frees up any memory
78       associated with it.
79
80       BIO_meth_get_write_ex() and BIO_meth_set_write_ex() get and set the
81       function used for writing arbitrary length data to the BIO
82       respectively. This function will be called in response to the
83       application calling BIO_write_ex() or BIO_write(). The parameters for
84       the function have the same meaning as for BIO_write_ex(). Older code
85       may call BIO_meth_get_write() and BIO_meth_set_write() instead.
86       Applications should not call both BIO_meth_set_write_ex() and
87       BIO_meth_set_write() or call BIO_meth_get_write() when the function was
88       set with BIO_meth_set_write_ex().
89
90       BIO_meth_get_read_ex() and BIO_meth_set_read_ex() get and set the
91       function used for reading arbitrary length data from the BIO
92       respectively. This function will be called in response to the
93       application calling BIO_read_ex() or BIO_read().  The parameters for
94       the function have the same meaning as for BIO_read_ex().  Older code
95       may call BIO_meth_get_read() and BIO_meth_set_read() instead.
96       Applications should not call both BIO_meth_set_read_ex() and
97       BIO_meth_set_read() or call BIO_meth_get_read() when the function was
98       set with BIO_meth_set_read_ex().
99
100       BIO_meth_get_puts() and BIO_meth_set_puts() get and set the function
101       used for writing a NULL terminated string to the BIO respectively. This
102       function will be called in response to the application calling
103       BIO_puts(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as
104       for BIO_puts().
105
106       BIO_meth_get_gets() and BIO_meth_set_gets() get and set the function
107       typically used for reading a line of data from the BIO respectively
108       (see the BIO_gets(3) page for more information). This function will be
109       called in response to the application calling BIO_gets(). The
110       parameters for the function have the same meaning as for BIO_gets().
111
112       BIO_meth_get_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_ctrl() get and set the function
113       used for processing ctrl messages in the BIO respectively. See the
114       BIO_ctrl page for more information. This function will be called in
115       response to the application calling BIO_ctrl(). The parameters for the
116       function have the same meaning as for BIO_ctrl().
117
118       BIO_meth_get_create() and BIO_meth_set_create() get and set the
119       function used for creating a new instance of the BIO respectively. This
120       function will be called in response to the application calling
121       BIO_new() and passing in a pointer to the current BIO_METHOD. The
122       BIO_new() function will allocate the memory for the new BIO, and a
123       pointer to this newly allocated structure will be passed as a parameter
124       to the function.
125
126       BIO_meth_get_destroy() and BIO_meth_set_destroy() get and set the
127       function used for destroying an instance of a BIO respectively. This
128       function will be called in response to the application calling
129       BIO_free(). A pointer to the BIO to be destroyed is passed as a
130       parameter. The destroy function should be used for BIO specific clean
131       up. The memory for the BIO itself should not be freed by this function.
132
133       BIO_meth_get_callback_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_callback_ctrl() get and
134       set the function used for processing callback ctrl messages in the BIO
135       respectively. See the BIO_callback_ctrl(3) page for more information.
136       This function will be called in response to the application calling
137       BIO_callback_ctrl(). The parameters for the function have the same
138       meaning as for BIO_callback_ctrl().
139

RETURN VALUES

141       BIO_get_new_index() returns the new BIO type value or -1 if an error
142       occurred.
143
144       BIO_meth_new(int type, const char *name) returns a valid BIO_METHOD or
145       NULL if an error occurred.
146
147       The BIO_meth_set functions return 1 on success or 0 on error.
148
149       The BIO_meth_get functions return the corresponding function pointers.
