It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the implementation 63of the various BIO capabilities. See the L<bio> page for more information. 64 65BIO_meth_new() creates a new B<BIO_METHOD> structure. It should be given a 66unique integer B<type> and a string that represents its B<name>. 67Use BIO_get_new_index() to get the value for B<type>. 68 69The set of 70standard OpenSSL provided BIO types is provided in B<bio.h>. Some examples 71include B<BIO_TYPE_BUFFER> and B<BIO_TYPE_CIPHER>. Filter BIOs should have a 72type which have the "filter" bit set (B<BIO_TYPE_FILTER>). Source/sink BIOs 73should have the "source/sink" bit set (B<BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK>). File descriptor 74based BIOs (e.g. socket, fd, connect, accept etc) should additionally have the 75"descriptor" bit set (B<BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR>). See the L<BIO_find_type> page for 76more information. 77 78BIO_meth_free() destroys a B<BIO_METHOD> structure and frees up any memory 79associated with it. 80 81BIO_meth_get_write_ex() and BIO_meth_set_write_ex() get and set the function 82used for writing arbitrary length data to the BIO respectively. This function 83will be called in response to the application calling BIO_write_ex() or 84BIO_write(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for 85BIO_write_ex(). Older code may call BIO_meth_get_write() and 86BIO_meth_set_write() instead. Applications should not call both 87BIO_meth_set_write_ex() and BIO_meth_set_write() or call BIO_meth_get_write() 88when the function was set with BIO_meth_set_write_ex(). 89 90BIO_meth_get_read_ex() and BIO_meth_set_read_ex() get and set the function used 91for reading arbitrary length data from the BIO respectively. This function will 92be called in response to the application calling BIO_read_ex() or BIO_read(). 93The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for BIO_read_ex(). 94Older code may call BIO_meth_get_read() and BIO_meth_set_read() instead. 95Applications should not call both BIO_meth_set_read_ex() and BIO_meth_set_read() 96or call BIO_meth_get_read() when the function was set with 97BIO_meth_set_read_ex(). 98 99BIO_meth_get_puts() and BIO_meth_set_puts() get and set the function used for 100writing a NULL terminated string to the BIO respectively. This function will be 101called in response to the application calling BIO_puts(). The parameters for 102the function have the same meaning as for BIO_puts(). 103 104BIO_meth_get_gets() and BIO_meth_set_gets() get and set the function typically 105used for reading a line of data from the BIO respectively (see the L<BIO_gets(3)> 106page for more information). This function will be called in response to the 107application calling BIO_gets(). The parameters for the function have the same 108meaning as for BIO_gets(). 109 110BIO_meth_get_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_ctrl() get and set the function used for 111processing ctrl messages in the BIO respectively. See the L<BIO_ctrl> page for 112more information. This function will be called in response to the application 113calling BIO_ctrl(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for 114BIO_ctrl(). 115 116BIO_meth_get_create() and BIO_meth_set_create() get and set the function used 117for creating a new instance of the BIO respectively. This function will be 118called in response to the application calling BIO_new() and passing 119in a pointer to the current BIO_METHOD. The BIO_new() function will allocate the 120memory for the new BIO, and a pointer to this newly allocated structure will 121be passed as a parameter to the function. 122 123BIO_meth_get_destroy() and BIO_meth_set_destroy() get and set the function used 124for destroying an instance of a BIO respectively. This function will be 125called in response to the application calling BIO_free(). A pointer to the BIO 126to be destroyed is passed as a parameter. The destroy function should be used 127for BIO specific clean up. The memory for the BIO itself should not be freed by 128this function. 129 130BIO_meth_get_callback_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_callback_ctrl() get and set the 131function used for processing callback ctrl messages in the BIO respectively. See 132the L<BIO_callback_ctrl(3)> page for more information. This function will be called 133in response to the application calling BIO_callback_ctrl(). The parameters for 134the function have the same meaning as for BIO_callback_ctrl(). 135 136=head1 RETURN VALUES 137 138BIO_get_new_index() returns the new BIO type value or -1 if an error occurred. 139 140BIO_meth_new(int type, const char *name) returns a valid B<BIO_METHOD> or NULL 141if an error occurred. 142 143The B<BIO_meth_set> functions return 1 on success or 0 on error. 144 145The B<BIO_meth_get> functions return the corresponding function pointers. 146 147=head1 SEE ALSO 148 149L<bio>, L<BIO_find_type>, L<BIO_ctrl>, L<BIO_read_ex>, L<BIO_new> 150 151=head1 HISTORY 152 153The functions described here were added in OpenSSL 1.1.0. 154 155=head1 COPYRIGHT 156 157Copyright 2016-2018 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
