165.PP
166Calls to \fIBIO_read()\fR and \fIBIO_write()\fR read and write data to the
167underlying stream. \fIBIO_gets()\fR and \fIBIO_puts()\fR are supported on file BIOs.

173using fseek(stream, 0, 0).

184of \fBmode\fR is the same as the stdio function \fIfopen()\fR. The \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0
185flag is set on the returned \s-1BIO\s0.
