=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
BIO_ctrl(), BIO_callback_ctrl(), BIO_ptr_ctrl() and BIO_int_ctrl()
|
|
are BIO "control" operations taking arguments of various types.
|
|
These functions are not normally called directly, various macros
|
|
are used instead. The standard macros are described below, macros
|
|
specific to a particular type of BIO are described in the specific
|
|
BIOs manual page as well as any special features of the standard
|
|
calls.
|
|
|
|
BIO_reset() typically resets a BIO to some initial state, in the case
|
|
of file related BIOs for example it rewinds the file pointer to the
|
|
start of the file.
|
|
|
|
BIO_seek() resets a file related BIO's (that is file descriptor and
|
|
FILE BIOs) file position pointer to B<ofs> bytes from start of file.
|
|
|
|
BIO_tell() returns the current file position of a file related BIO.
|
|
|
|
BIO_flush() normally writes out any internally buffered data, in some
|
|
cases it is used to signal EOF and that no more data will be written.
|
|
|
|
BIO_eof() returns 1 if the BIO has read EOF, the precise meaning of
|
|
"EOF" varies according to the BIO type.
|
|
|
|
BIO_set_close() sets the BIO B<b> close flag to B<flag>. B<flag> can
|
|
take the value BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE. Typically BIO_CLOSE is used
|
|
in a source/sink BIO to indicate that the underlying I/O stream should
|
|
be closed when the BIO is freed.
|
|
|
|
BIO_get_close() returns the BIOs close flag.
|
|
|
|
BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
|
|
return the number of pending characters in the BIOs read and write buffers.
|
|
Not all BIOs support these calls. BIO_ctrl_pending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
|
|
return a size_t type and are functions, BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() are
|
|
macros which call BIO_ctrl().
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
BIO_reset() normally returns 1 for success and 0 or -1 for failure. File
|
|
BIOs are an exception, they return 0 for success and -1 for failure.
|
|
|
|
BIO_seek() and BIO_tell() both return the current file position on success
|
|
and -1 for failure, except file BIOs which for BIO_seek() always return 0
|
|
for success and -1 for failure.
|
|
|
|
BIO_flush() returns 1 for success and 0 or -1 for failure.
|
|
|
|
BIO_eof() returns 1 if EOF has been reached 0 otherwise.
|
|
|
|
BIO_set_close() always returns 1.
|
|
|
|
BIO_get_close() returns the close flag value: BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE.
|
|
|
|
BIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending()
|
|
return the amount of pending data.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
BIO_flush(), because it can write data may return 0 or -1 indicating
|
|
that the call should be retried later in a similar manner to BIO_write().
|
|
The BIO_should_retry() call should be used and appropriate action taken
|
|
is the call fails.
|
|
|
|
The return values of BIO_pending() and BIO_wpending() may not reliably
|
|
determine the amount of pending data in all cases. For example in the
|
|
case of a file BIO some data may be available in the FILE structures
|
|
internal buffers but it is not possible to determine this in a
|
|
portably way. For other types of BIO they may not be supported.
|
|
|
|
Filter BIOs if they do not internally handle a particular BIO_ctrl()
|
|
operation usually pass the operation to the next BIO in the chain.
|
|
This often means there is no need to locate the required BIO for
|
|
a particular operation, it can be called on a chain and it will
|
|
be automatically passed to the relevant BIO. However this can cause
|
|
unexpected results: for example no current filter BIOs implement
|
|
BIO_seek(), but this may still succeed if the chain ends in a FILE
|
|
or file descriptor BIO.
|
|
|
|
Source/sink BIOs return an 0 if they do not recognize the BIO_ctrl()
|
|
operation.
|
|
|
|
=head1 BUGS
|
|
|
|
Some of the return values are ambiguous and care should be taken. In
|
|
particular a return value of 0 can be returned if an operation is not
|
|
supported, if an error occurred, if EOF has not been reached and in
|
|
the case of BIO_seek() on a file BIO for a successful operation.
