NAME

6       BIO_find_type, BIO_next, BIO_method_type - BIO chain traversal
7

SYNOPSIS

9        #include <openssl/bio.h>
10
11        BIO *BIO_find_type(BIO *b, int bio_type);
12        BIO *BIO_next(BIO *b);
13        int BIO_method_type(const BIO *b);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The BIO_find_type() searches for a BIO of a given type in a chain,
17       starting at BIO b. If type is a specific type (such as BIO_TYPE_MEM)
18       then a search is made for a BIO of that type. If type is a general type
19       (such as BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK) then the next matching BIO of the given
20       general type is searched for. BIO_find_type() returns the next matching
21       BIO or NULL if none is found.
22
23       The following general types are defined: BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR,
24       BIO_TYPE_FILTER, and BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK.
25
26       For a list of the specific types, see the <openssl/bio.h> header file.
27
28       BIO_next() returns the next BIO in a chain. It can be used to traverse
29       all BIOs in a chain or used in conjunction with BIO_find_type() to find
30       all BIOs of a certain type.
31
32       BIO_method_type() returns the type of a BIO.
33

RETURN VALUES

35       BIO_find_type() returns a matching BIO or NULL for no match.
36
37       BIO_next() returns the next BIO in a chain.
38
39       BIO_method_type() returns the type of the BIO b.

EXAMPLES

42       Traverse a chain looking for digest BIOs:
43
44        BIO *btmp;
45
46        btmp = in_bio; /* in_bio is chain to search through */
47        do {
48            btmp = BIO_find_type(btmp, BIO_TYPE_MD);
49            if (btmp == NULL)
50                break; /* Not found */
51            /* btmp is a digest BIO, do something with it ...*/
52            ...
53
54            btmp = BIO_next(btmp);
55        } while (btmp);
