.... 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_READ 3"
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
\fBBIO_write_ex() attempts to write dlen bytes from data to \s-1BIO\s0 b. If successful then the number of bytes written is stored in *written.
\fBBIO_read() attempts to read len bytes from \s-1BIO\s0 b and places the data in buf.
\fBBIO_gets() performs the BIOs \*(L"gets\*(R" operation and places the data in buf. Usually this operation will attempt to read a line of data from the \s-1BIO\s0 of maximum length size-1. There are exceptions to this, however; for example, BIO_gets() on a digest \s-1BIO\s0 will calculate and return the digest and other BIOs may not support BIO_gets() at all. The returned string is always NUL-terminated and the '\en' is preserved if present in the input data.
\fBBIO_write() attempts to write len bytes from buf to \s-1BIO\s0 b.
\fBBIO_puts() attempts to write a NUL-terminated string buf to \s-1BIO\s0 b.
All other functions return either the amount of data successfully read or written (if the return value is positive) or that no data was successfully read or written if the result is 0 or -1. If the return value is -2 then the operation is not implemented in the specific \s-1BIO\s0 type. The trailing \s-1NUL\s0 is not included in the length returned by BIO_gets().
One technique sometimes used with blocking sockets is to use a system call (such as select(), poll() or equivalent) to determine when data is available and then call read() to read the data. The equivalent with BIOs (that is call \fBselect() on the underlying I/O structure and then call BIO_read() to read the data) should not be used because a single call to BIO_read() can cause several reads (and writes in the case of \s-1SSL\s0 BIOs) on the underlying I/O structure and may block as a result. Instead select() (or equivalent) should be combined with non blocking I/O so successive reads will request a retry instead of blocking.
See BIO_should_retry\|(3) for details of how to determine the cause of a retry and other I/O issues.
If the BIO_gets() function is not supported by a \s-1BIO\s0 then it possible to work around this by adding a buffering \s-1BIO\s0 BIO_f_buffer\|(3) to the chain.
