As its name implies it 28is a wrapper round the stdio FILE structure and it is a 29source/sink BIO. 30 31Calls to BIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() read and write data to the 32underlying stream. BIO_gets() and BIO_puts() are supported on file BIOs. 33 34BIO_flush() on a file BIO calls the fflush() function on the wrapped 35stream. 36 37BIO_reset() attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file 38using fseek(stream, 0, 0). 39 40BIO_seek() sets the file pointer to position B<ofs> from start of file 41using fseek(stream, ofs, 0). 42 43BIO_eof() calls feof(). 44 45Setting the BIO_CLOSE flag calls fclose() on the stream when the BIO 46is freed. 47 48BIO_new_file() creates a new file BIO with mode B<mode> the meaning 49of B<mode> is the same as the stdio function fopen(). The BIO_CLOSE 50flag is set on the returned BIO. 51 52BIO_new_fp() creates a file BIO wrapping B<stream>. Flags can be: 53BIO_CLOSE, BIO_NOCLOSE (the close flag) BIO_FP_TEXT (sets the underlying 54stream to text mode, default is binary: this only has any effect under 55Win32). 56 57BIO_set_fp() sets the fp of a file BIO to B<fp>. B<flags> has the same 58meaning as in BIO_new_fp(), it is a macro. 59 60BIO_get_fp() retrieves the fp of a file BIO, it is a macro. 61 62BIO_seek() is a macro that sets the position pointer to B<offset> bytes 63from the start of file. 64 65BIO_tell() returns the value of the position pointer. 66 67BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(), BIO_append_filename() and 68BIO_rw_filename() set the file BIO B<b> to use file B<name> for 69reading, writing, append or read write respectively. 70 71=head1 NOTES 72 73When wrapping stdout, stdin or stderr the underlying stream should not 74normally be closed so the BIO_NOCLOSE flag should be set. 75 76Because the file BIO calls the underlying stdio functions any quirks 77in stdio behaviour will be mirrored by the corresponding BIO. 78 79On Windows BIO_new_files reserves for the filename argument to be 80UTF-8 encoded. In other words if you have to make it work in multi- 81lingual environment, encode file names in UTF-8. 82 83=head1 EXAMPLES 84 85File BIO "hello world": 86 87 BIO *bio_out; 88 89 bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE); 90 BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n"); 91 92Alternative technique: 93 94 BIO *bio_out; 95 96 bio_out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file()); 97 if (bio_out == NULL) 98 /* Error */ 99 if (!BIO_set_fp(bio_out, stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE)) 100 /* Error */ 101 BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\n"); 102 103Write to a file: 104 105 BIO *out; 106 107 out = BIO_new_file("filename.txt", "w"); 108 if (!out) 109 /* Error */ 110 BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n"); 111 BIO_free(out); 112 113Alternative technique: 114 115 BIO *out; 116 117 out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file()); 118 if (out == NULL) 119 /* Error */ 120 if (!BIO_write_filename(out, "filename.txt")) 121 /* Error */ 122 BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n"); 123 BIO_free(out); 124 125=head1 RETURN VALUES 126 127BIO_s_file() returns the file BIO method. 128 129BIO_new_file() and BIO_new_fp() return a file BIO or NULL if an error 130occurred. 131 132BIO_set_fp() and BIO_get_fp() return 1 for success or 0 for failure 133(although the current implementation never return 0). 134 135BIO_seek() returns the same value as the underlying fseek() function: 1360 for success or -1 for failure. 137 138BIO_tell() returns the current file position. 139 140BIO_read_filename(), BIO_write_filename(), BIO_append_filename() and 141BIO_rw_filename() return 1 for success or 0 for failure. 142 143=head1 BUGS 144 145BIO_reset() and BIO_seek() are implemented using fseek() on the underlying 146stream. The return value for fseek() is 0 for success or -1 if an error 147occurred this differs from other types of BIO which will typically return 1481 for success and a non positive value if an error occurred. 149 150=head1 SEE ALSO 151 152L<BIO_seek(3)>, L<BIO_tell(3)>, 153L<BIO_reset(3)>, L<BIO_flush(3)>, 154L<BIO_read_ex(3)>, 155L<BIO_write_ex(3)>, L<BIO_puts(3)>, 156L<BIO_gets(3)>, L<BIO_printf(3)>, 157L<BIO_set_close(3)>, L<BIO_get_close(3)> 158 159=head1 COPYRIGHT 160 161Copyright 2000-2018 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
