.. 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 turned on, 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'.

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 \s-1BIO\s0 are described in the specific BIOs manual page as well as any special features of the standard calls.

\fIBIO_reset() typically resets a \s-1BIO\s0 to some initial state, in the case of file related BIOs for example it rewinds the file pointer to the start of the file.

\fIBIO_seek() resets a file related \s-1BIO\s0's (that is file descriptor and \s-1FILE\s0 BIOs) file position pointer to ofs bytes from start of file.

\fIBIO_tell() returns the current file position of a file related \s-1BIO.\s0

\fIBIO_flush() normally writes out any internally buffered data, in some cases it is used to signal \s-1EOF\s0 and that no more data will be written.

\fIBIO_eof() returns 1 if the \s-1BIO\s0 has read \s-1EOF,\s0 the precise meaning of \*(L"\s-1EOF\*(R"\s0 varies according to the \s-1BIO\s0 type.

\fIBIO_set_close() sets the \s-1BIO \s0b close flag to flag. flag can take the value \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 or \s-1BIO_NOCLOSE.\s0 Typically \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 is used in a source/sink \s-1BIO\s0 to indicate that the underlying I/O stream should be closed when the \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.

\fIBIO_get_close() returns the BIOs close flag.

\fIBIO_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().

Header "RETURN VALUES" \fIBIO_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.

\fIBIO_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.

\fIBIO_flush() returns 1 for success and 0 or -1 for failure.

\fIBIO_eof() returns 1 if \s-1EOF\s0 has been reached 0 otherwise.

\fIBIO_set_close() always returns 1.

\fIBIO_get_close() returns the close flag value: \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 or \s-1BIO_NOCLOSE.\s0

\fIBIO_pending(), BIO_ctrl_pending(), BIO_wpending() and BIO_ctrl_wpending() return the amount of pending data.

Header "NOTES" \fIBIO_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 \s-1BIO\s0 some data may be available in the \s-1FILE\s0 structures internal buffers but it is not possible to determine this in a portably way. For other types of \s-1BIO\s0 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 \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain. This often means there is no need to locate the required \s-1BIO\s0 for a particular operation, it can be called on a chain and it will be automatically passed to the relevant \s-1BIO.\s0 However this can cause unexpected results: for example no current filter BIOs implement \fIBIO_seek(), but this may still succeed if the chain ends in a \s-1FILE\s0 or file descriptor \s-1BIO.\s0

Source/sink BIOs return an 0 if they do not recognize the BIO_ctrl() operation.

Header "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 \s-1EOF\s0 has not been reached and in the case of BIO_seek() on a file \s-1BIO\s0 for a successful operation.
