.. 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'.

"NAME"
BIO_find_type, BIO_next - BIO chain traversal

"DESCRIPTION"
Header "DESCRIPTION" The BIO_find_type() searches for a \s-1BIO\s0 of a given type in a chain, starting at \s-1BIO \s0b. If type is a specific type (such as \s-1BIO_TYPE_MEM\s0) then a search is made for a \s-1BIO\s0 of that type. If type is a general type (such as \fB\s-1BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK\s0) then the next matching \s-1BIO\s0 of the given general type is searched for. BIO_find_type() returns the next matching \s-1BIO\s0 or \s-1NULL\s0 if none is found.

Note: not all the BIO_TYPE_* types above have corresponding \s-1BIO\s0 implementations.

\fIBIO_next() returns the next \s-1BIO\s0 in a chain. It can be used to traverse all BIOs in a chain or used in conjunction with BIO_find_type() to find all BIOs of a certain type.

\fIBIO_method_type() returns the type of a \s-1BIO.\s0

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fIBIO_find_type() returns a matching \s-1BIO\s0 or \s-1NULL\s0 for no match.

\fIBIO_next() returns the next \s-1BIO\s0 in a chain.

\fIBIO_method_type() returns the type of the \s-1BIO \s0b.

"NOTES"
Header "NOTES" \fIBIO_next() was added to OpenSSL 0.9.6 to provide a 'clean' way to traverse a \s-1BIO\s0 chain or find multiple matches using BIO_find_type(). Previous versions had to use:

.Vb 1 next = bio->next_bio; .Ve

"BUGS"
Header "BUGS" \fIBIO_find_type() in OpenSSL 0.9.5a and earlier could not be safely passed a \s-1NULL\s0 pointer for the b argument.
"EXAMPLE"
Header "EXAMPLE" Traverse a chain looking for digest BIOs:

.Vb 2 BIO *btmp; btmp = in_bio; /* in_bio is chain to search through */ \& do { btmp = BIO_find_type(btmp, BIO_TYPE_MD); if(btmp == NULL) break; /* Not found */ /* btmp is a digest BIO, do something with it ...*/ ... \& btmp = BIO_next(btmp); } while(btmp); .Ve
