Socket \fBoptions\fR are currently unused, but is present for future use. .PP \&\fBBIO_bind()\fR binds the source address and service to a socket and may be useful before calling \fBBIO_connect()\fR. The options may include \&\fBBIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR\fR, which is described in "FLAGS" below. .PP \&\fBBIO_connect()\fR connects \fBsock\fR to the address and service given by \&\fBaddr\fR. Connection \fBoptions\fR may be zero or any combination of \&\fBBIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE\fR, \fBBIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK\fR and \fBBIO_SOCK_NODELAY\fR. The flags are described in "FLAGS" below. .PP \&\fBBIO_listen()\fR has \fBsock\fR start listening on the address and service given by \fBaddr\fR. Connection \fBoptions\fR may be zero or any combination of \fBBIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE\fR, \fBBIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK\fR, \&\fBBIO_SOCK_NODELAY\fR, \fBBIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR\fR and \fBBIO_SOCK_V6_ONLY\fR. The flags are described in "FLAGS" below. .PP \&\fBBIO_accept_ex()\fR waits for an incoming connections on the given socket \fBaccept_sock\fR. When it gets a connection, the address and port of the peer gets stored in \fBpeer\fR if that one is non-NULL. Accept \fBoptions\fR may be zero or \fBBIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK\fR, and is applied on the accepted socket. The flags are described in "FLAGS" below. .PP \&\fBBIO_closesocket()\fR closes \fBsock\fR. .SH FLAGS .IX Header "FLAGS" .IP BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE 4 .IX Item "BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE" Enables regular sending of keep-alive messages. .IP BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK 4 .IX Item "BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK" Sets the socket to nonblocking mode. .IP BIO_SOCK_NODELAY 4 .IX Item "BIO_SOCK_NODELAY" Corresponds to \fBTCP_NODELAY\fR, and disables the Nagle algorithm. With this set, any data will be sent as soon as possible instead of being buffered until there's enough for the socket to send out in one go. .IP BIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR 4 .IX Item "BIO_SOCK_REUSEADDR" Try to reuse the address and port combination for a recently closed port. .IP BIO_SOCK_V6_ONLY 4 .IX Item "BIO_SOCK_V6_ONLY" When creating an IPv6 socket, make it only listen for IPv6 addresses and not IPv4 addresses mapped to IPv6. .PP These flags are bit flags, so they are to be combined with the \&\f(CW\*(C`|\*(C'\fR operator, for example: .PP .Vb 1 \& BIO_connect(sock, addr, BIO_SOCK_KEEPALIVE | BIO_SOCK_NONBLOCK); .Ve .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBBIO_socket()\fR returns the socket number on success or \fBINVALID_SOCKET\fR (\-1) on error. When an error has occurred, the OpenSSL error stack will hold the error data and errno has the system error. .PP \&\fBBIO_bind()\fR, \fBBIO_connect()\fR and \fBBIO_listen()\fR return 1 on success or 0 on error. When an error has occurred, the OpenSSL error stack will hold the error data and errno has the system error. .PP \&\fBBIO_accept_ex()\fR returns the accepted socket on success or \&\fBINVALID_SOCKET\fR (\-1) on error. When an error has occurred, the OpenSSL error stack will hold the error data and errno has the system error. .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBBIO_ADDR\fR\|(3) .SH HISTORY .IX Header "HISTORY" \&\fBBIO_gethostname()\fR, \fBBIO_get_port()\fR, \fBBIO_get_host_ip()\fR, \&\fBBIO_get_accept_socket()\fR and \fBBIO_accept()\fR were deprecated in OpenSSL 1.1.0. Use the functions described above instead. .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2016\-2020 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
