.. 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 "PEM_BYTES_READ_BIO 3"

For nroff, turn off justification. Always turn off hyphenation; it makes
way too many mistakes in technical documents.
"NAME"
PEM_bytes_read_bio, PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem - read a PEM-encoded data structure from a BIO
"SYNOPSIS"
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #include <openssl/pem.h> \& int PEM_bytes_read_bio(unsigned char **pdata, long *plen, char **pnm, const char *name, BIO *bp, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u); int PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem(unsigned char **pdata, long *plen, char **pnm, const char *name, BIO *bp, pem_password_cb *cb, void *u); .Ve
"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBPEM_bytes_read_bio() reads PEM-formatted (\s-1IETF RFC 1421\s0 and \s-1IETF RFC 7468\s0) data from the \s-1BIO\s0 \fIbp for the data type given in name (\s-1RSA PRIVATE KEY, CERTIFICATE,\s0 etc.). If multiple PEM-encoded data structures are present in the same stream, PEM_bytes_read_bio() will skip non-matching data types and continue reading. Non-PEM data present in the stream may cause an error.

The \s-1PEM\s0 header may indicate that the following data is encrypted; if so, the data will be decrypted, waiting on user input to supply a passphrase if needed. The password callback cb and rock u are used to obtain the decryption passphrase, if applicable.

Some data types have compatibility aliases, such as a file containing X509 \s-1CERTIFICATE\s0 matching a request for the deprecated type \s-1CERTIFICATE.\s0 The actual type indicated by the file is returned in *pnm if pnm is non-NULL. The caller must free the storage pointed to by *pnm.

The returned data is the DER-encoded form of the requested type, in \fI*pdata with length *plen. The caller must free the storage pointed to by *pdata.

\fBPEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem() is similar to PEM_bytes_read_bio(), but uses memory from the secure heap for its temporary buffers and the storage returned in *pdata and *pnm. Accordingly, the caller must use \fBOPENSSL_secure_free() to free that storage.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" \fBPEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem() only enforces that the secure heap is used for storage allocated within the \s-1PEM\s0 processing stack. The \s-1BIO\s0 stack from which input is read may also use temporary buffers, which are not necessarily allocated from the secure heap. In cases where it is desirable to ensure that the contents of the \s-1PEM\s0 file only appears in memory from the secure heap, care is needed in generating the \s-1BIO\s0 passed as bp. In particular, the use of BIO_s_file() indicates the use of the operating system stdio functionality, which includes buffering as a feature; BIO_s_fd() is likely to be more appropriate in such cases.

These functions make no assumption regarding the pass phrase received from the password callback. It will simply be treated as a byte sequence.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBPEM_bytes_read_bio() and PEM_bytes_read_bio_secmem() return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
