.. Set up some character translations and predefined strings. \*(-- will
give an unbreakable dash, \*(PI will give pi, \*(L" will give a left
double quote, and \*(R" will give a right double quote. \*(C+ will
give a nicer C++. Capital omega is used to do unbreakable dashes and
therefore won't be available. \*(C` and \*(C' expand to `' in nroff,
nothing in troff, for use with C<>.

Escape single quotes in literal strings from groff's Unicode transform.

If the F register is >0, we'll generate index entries on stderr for
titles (.TH), headers (.SH), subsections (.SS), items (.Ip), and index
entries marked with X<> in POD. Of course, you'll have to process the
output yourself in some meaningful fashion.

Avoid warning from groff about undefined register 'F'.

Title "BIO_PUSH 3"
BIO_PUSH 3 "2021-08-24" "1.1.1l" "OpenSSL"
For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
BIO_push, BIO_pop, BIO_set_next - add and remove BIOs from a chain
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/bio.h> \& BIO *BIO_push(BIO *b, BIO *append); BIO *BIO_pop(BIO *b); void BIO_set_next(BIO *b, BIO *next); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The BIO_push() function appends the \s-1BIO\s0 append to b, it returns \fBb.

\fBBIO_pop() removes the \s-1BIO\s0 b from a chain and returns the next \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain, or \s-1NULL\s0 if there is no next \s-1BIO.\s0 The removed \s-1BIO\s0 then becomes a single \s-1BIO\s0 with no association with the original chain, it can thus be freed or attached to a different chain.

\fBBIO_set_next() replaces the existing next \s-1BIO\s0 in a chain with the \s-1BIO\s0 pointed to by next. The new chain may include some of the same BIOs from the old chain or it may be completely different.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" The names of these functions are perhaps a little misleading. BIO_push() joins two \s-1BIO\s0 chains whereas BIO_pop() deletes a single \s-1BIO\s0 from a chain, the deleted \s-1BIO\s0 does not need to be at the end of a chain.

The process of calling BIO_push() and BIO_pop() on a \s-1BIO\s0 may have additional consequences (a control call is made to the affected BIOs) any effects will be noted in the descriptions of individual BIOs.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_push() returns the end of the chain, b.

\fBBIO_pop() returns the next \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain, or \s-1NULL\s0 if there is no next \s-1BIO.\s0

"EXAMPLES"
Header "EXAMPLES" For these examples suppose md1 and md2 are digest BIOs, b64 is a base64 \s-1BIO\s0 and f is a file \s-1BIO.\s0

If the call:

.Vb 1 BIO_push(b64, f); .Ve

is made then the new chain will be b64-f. After making the calls

.Vb 2 BIO_push(md2, b64); BIO_push(md1, md2); .Ve

the new chain is md1-md2-b64-f. Data written to md1 will be digested by md1 and md2, base64 encoded and written to f.

It should be noted that reading causes data to pass in the reverse direction, that is data is read from f, base64 decoded and digested by md2 and md1. If the call:

.Vb 1 BIO_pop(md2); .Ve

The call will return b64 and the new chain will be md1-b64-f data can be written to md1 as before.
