19=head1 DESCRIPTION
20
21These functions are mainly useful when implementing a custom BIO.
22
23The BIO_set_data() function associates the custom data pointed to by B<ptr> with
24the BIO. This data can subsequently be retrieved via a call to BIO_get_data().
25This can be used by custom BIOs for storing implementation specific information.
26
27The BIO_set_init() function sets the value of the BIO's "init" flag to indicate
28whether initialisation has been completed for this BIO or not. A nonzero value
29indicates that initialisation is complete, whilst zero indicates that it is not.
30Often initialisation will complete during initial construction of the BIO. For
31some BIOs however, initialisation may not complete until after additional steps
32have occurred (for example through calling custom ctrls). The BIO_get_init()
33function returns the value of the "init" flag.
34
35The BIO_set_shutdown() and BIO_get_shutdown() functions set and get the state of
36this BIO's shutdown (i.e. BIO_CLOSE) flag. If set then the underlying resource
37is also closed when the BIO is freed.
38
39=head1 RETURN VALUES
40
41BIO_get_data() returns a pointer to the implementation specific custom data
42associated with this BIO, or NULL if none has been set.
43
44BIO_get_init() returns the state of the BIO's init flag.
45
46BIO_get_shutdown() returns the stat of the BIO's shutdown (i.e. BIO_CLOSE) flag.
