Data +written to a memory BIO is stored in a BUF_MEM structure which is extended +as appropriate to accommodate the stored data. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_s_secmem()\fR is like \fBBIO_s_mem()\fR except that the secure heap is used +for buffer storage. +.PP +Any data written to a memory BIO can be recalled by reading from it. +Unless the memory BIO is read only any data read from it is deleted from +the BIO. +.PP +Memory BIOs support \fBBIO_gets()\fR and \fBBIO_puts()\fR. +.PP +If the BIO_CLOSE flag is set when a memory BIO is freed then the underlying +BUF_MEM structure is also freed. +.PP +Calling \fBBIO_reset()\fR on a read write memory BIO clears any data in it if the +flag BIO_FLAGS_NONCLEAR_RST is not set, otherwise it just restores the read +pointer to the state it was just after the last write was performed and the +data can be read again. On a read only BIO it similarly restores the BIO to +its original state and the read only data can be read again. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_eof()\fR is true if no data is in the BIO. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_ctrl_pending()\fR returns the number of bytes currently stored. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_set_mem_eof_return()\fR sets the behaviour of memory BIO \fBb\fR when it is +empty. If the \fBv\fR is zero then an empty memory BIO will return EOF (that is +it will return zero and BIO_should_retry(b) will be false. If \fBv\fR is non +zero then it will return \fBv\fR when it is empty and it will set the read retry +flag (that is BIO_read_retry(b) is true). To avoid ambiguity with a normal +positive return value \fBv\fR should be set to a negative value, typically \-1. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_get_mem_data()\fR sets *\fBpp\fR to a pointer to the start of the memory BIOs data +and returns the total amount of data available. It is implemented as a macro. +Note the pointer returned by this call is informative, no transfer of ownership +of this memory is implied. See notes on \fBBIO_set_close()\fR. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_set_mem_buf()\fR sets the internal BUF_MEM structure to \fBbm\fR and sets the +close flag to \fBc\fR, that is \fBc\fR should be either BIO_CLOSE or BIO_NOCLOSE. +It is a macro. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_get_mem_ptr()\fR places the underlying BUF_MEM structure in *\fBpp\fR. It is +a macro. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_new_mem_buf()\fR creates a memory BIO using \fBlen\fR bytes of data at \fBbuf\fR, +if \fBlen\fR is \-1 then the \fBbuf\fR is assumed to be nul terminated and its +length is determined by \fBstrlen\fR. The BIO is set to a read only state and +as a result cannot be written to. This is useful when some data needs to be +made available from a static area of memory in the form of a BIO. The +supplied data is read directly from the supplied buffer: it is \fBnot\fR copied +first, so the supplied area of memory must be unchanged until the BIO is freed. +.SH NOTES +.IX Header "NOTES" +Writes to memory BIOs will always succeed if memory is available: that is +their size can grow indefinitely. +.PP +Every write after partial read (not all data in the memory buffer was read) +to a read write memory BIO will have to move the unread data with an internal +copy operation, if a BIO contains a lot of data and it is read in small +chunks intertwined with writes the operation can be very slow. Adding +a buffering BIO to the chain can speed up the process. +.PP +Calling \fBBIO_set_mem_buf()\fR on a BIO created with \fBBIO_new_secmem()\fR will +give undefined results, including perhaps a program crash. +.PP +Switching the memory BIO from read write to read only is not supported and +can give undefined results including a program crash. There are two notable +exceptions to the rule. The first one is to assign a static memory buffer +immediately after BIO creation and set the BIO as read only. +.PP +The other supported sequence is to start with read write BIO then temporarily +switch it to read only and call \fBBIO_reset()\fR on the read only BIO immediately +before switching it back to read write. Before the BIO is freed it must be +switched back to the read write mode. +.PP +Calling \fBBIO_get_mem_ptr()\fR on read only BIO will return a BUF_MEM that +contains only the remaining data to be read. If the close status of the +BIO is set to BIO_NOCLOSE, before freeing the BUF_MEM the data pointer +in it must be set to NULL as the data pointer does not point to an +allocated memory. +.PP +Calling \fBBIO_reset()\fR on a read write memory BIO with BIO_FLAGS_NONCLEAR_RST +flag set can have unexpected outcome when the reads and writes to the +BIO are intertwined. As documented above the BIO will be reset to the +state after the last completed write operation. The effects of reads +preceding that write operation cannot be undone. +.PP +Calling \fBBIO_get_mem_ptr()\fR prior to a \fBBIO_reset()\fR call with +BIO_FLAGS_NONCLEAR_RST set has the same effect as a write operation. +.PP +Calling \fBBIO_set_close()\fR with BIO_NOCLOSE orphans the BUF_MEM internal to the +BIO, _not_ its actual data buffer. See the examples section for the proper +method for claiming ownership of the data pointer for a deferred free operation. +.SH BUGS +.IX Header "BUGS" +There should be an option to set the maximum size of a memory BIO. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fBBIO_s_mem()\fR and \fBBIO_s_secmem()\fR return a valid memory \fBBIO_METHOD\fR structure. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_set_mem_eof_return()\fR, \fBBIO_set_mem_buf()\fR and \fBBIO_get_mem_ptr()\fR +return 1 on success or a value which is less than or equal to 0 if an error occurred. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_get_mem_data()\fR returns the total number of bytes available on success, +0 if b is NULL, or a negative value in case of other errors. +.PP +\&\fBBIO_new_mem_buf()\fR returns a valid \fBBIO\fR structure on success or NULL on error. +.SH EXAMPLES +.IX Header "EXAMPLES" +Create a memory BIO and write some data to it: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& BIO *mem = BIO_new(BIO_s_mem()); +\& +\& BIO_puts(mem, "Hello World\en"); +.Ve +.PP +Create a read only memory BIO: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& char data[] = "Hello World"; +\& BIO *mem = BIO_new_mem_buf(data, \-1); +.Ve +.PP +Extract the BUF_MEM structure from a memory BIO and then free up the BIO: +.PP +.Vb 1 +\& BUF_MEM *bptr; +\& +\& BIO_get_mem_ptr(mem, &bptr); +\& BIO_set_close(mem, BIO_NOCLOSE); /* So BIO_free() leaves BUF_MEM alone */ +\& BIO_free(mem); +.Ve +.PP +Extract the BUF_MEM ptr, claim ownership of the internal data and free the BIO +and BUF_MEM structure: +.PP +.Vb 2 +\& BUF_MEM *bptr; +\& char *data; +\& +\& BIO_get_mem_data(bio, &data); +\& BIO_get_mem_ptr(bio, &bptr); +\& BIO_set_close(mem, BIO_NOCLOSE); /* So BIO_free orphans BUF_MEM */ +\& BIO_free(bio); +\& bptr\->data = NULL; /* Tell BUF_MEM to orphan data */ +\& BUF_MEM_free(bptr); +\& ... +\& free(data); +.Ve +.SH COPYRIGHT +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright 2000\-2023 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
