.. 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'.

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
BIO_s_socket, BIO_new_socket - socket BIO
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/bio.h> \& const BIO_METHOD *BIO_s_socket(void); \& BIO *BIO_new_socket(int sock, int close_flag); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBBIO_s_socket() returns the socket \s-1BIO\s0 method. This is a wrapper round the platform's socket routines.

\fBBIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() read or write the underlying socket. \fBBIO_puts() is supported but BIO_gets() is not.

If the close flag is set then the socket is shut down and closed when the \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.

\fBBIO_new_socket() returns a socket \s-1BIO\s0 using sock and close_flag.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" Socket BIOs also support any relevant functionality of file descriptor BIOs.

The reason for having separate file descriptor and socket BIOs is that on some platforms sockets are not file descriptors and use distinct I/O routines, Windows is one such platform. Any code mixing the two will not work on all platforms.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_s_socket() returns the socket \s-1BIO\s0 method.

\fBBIO_new_socket() returns the newly allocated \s-1BIO\s0 or \s-1NULL\s0 is an error occurred.
