+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBBIO_s_mem()\fR returns the memory BIO method function.
+.PP
+A memory BIO is a source/sink BIO which uses memory for its I/O. 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);
