.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The \fB\s-1BIO_METHOD\s0\fR type is a structure used for the implementation of new \s-1BIO\s0
types. It provides a set of functions used by OpenSSL for the implementation
of the various \s-1BIO\s0 capabilities. See the \fBbio\fR\|(7) page for more information.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_new()\fR creates a new \fB\s-1BIO_METHOD\s0\fR structure. It should be given a
unique integer \fBtype\fR and a string that represents its \fBname\fR.
Use \fBBIO_get_new_index()\fR to get the value for \fBtype\fR.
.PP
The set of
standard OpenSSL provided \s-1BIO\s0 types is provided in \fI<openssl/bio.h>\fR.
Some examples include \fB\s-1BIO_TYPE_BUFFER\s0\fR and \fB\s-1BIO_TYPE_CIPHER\s0\fR. Filter BIOs
should have a type which have the \*(L"filter\*(R" bit set (\fB\s-1BIO_TYPE_FILTER\s0\fR).
Source/sink BIOs should have the \*(L"source/sink\*(R" bit set (\fB\s-1BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK\s0\fR).
File descriptor based BIOs (e.g. socket, fd, connect, accept etc) should
additionally have the \*(L"descriptor\*(R" bit set (\fB\s-1BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR\s0\fR). See the
\&\fBBIO_find_type\fR\|(3) page for more information.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_free()\fR destroys a \fB\s-1BIO_METHOD\s0\fR structure and frees up any memory
associated with it.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_write_ex()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_write_ex()\fR get and set the function
used for writing arbitrary length data to the \s-1BIO\s0 respectively. This function
will be called in response to the application calling \fBBIO_write_ex()\fR or
\&\fBBIO_write()\fR. The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for
\&\fBBIO_write_ex()\fR. Older code may call \fBBIO_meth_get_write()\fR and
\&\fBBIO_meth_set_write()\fR instead. Applications should not call both
\&\fBBIO_meth_set_write_ex()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_write()\fR or call \fBBIO_meth_get_write()\fR
when the function was set with \fBBIO_meth_set_write_ex()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_read_ex()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_read_ex()\fR get and set the function used
for reading arbitrary length data from the \s-1BIO\s0 respectively. This function will
be called in response to the application calling \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR or \fBBIO_read()\fR.
The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR.
Older code may call \fBBIO_meth_get_read()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_read()\fR instead.
Applications should not call both \fBBIO_meth_set_read_ex()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_read()\fR
or call \fBBIO_meth_get_read()\fR when the function was set with
\&\fBBIO_meth_set_read_ex()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_puts()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_puts()\fR get and set the function used for
writing a \s-1NULL\s0 terminated string to the \s-1BIO\s0 respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling \fBBIO_puts()\fR. The parameters for
the function have the same meaning as for \fBBIO_puts()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_gets()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_gets()\fR get and set the function typically
used for reading a line of data from the \s-1BIO\s0 respectively (see the \fBBIO_gets\fR\|(3)
page for more information). This function will be called in response to the
application calling \fBBIO_gets()\fR. The parameters for the function have the same
meaning as for \fBBIO_gets()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_ctrl()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_ctrl()\fR get and set the function used for
processing ctrl messages in the \s-1BIO\s0 respectively. See the \fBBIO_ctrl\fR\|(3) page for
more information. This function will be called in response to the application
calling \fBBIO_ctrl()\fR. The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for
\&\fBBIO_ctrl()\fR.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_create()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_create()\fR get and set the function used
for creating a new instance of the \s-1BIO\s0 respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling \fBBIO_new()\fR and passing
in a pointer to the current \s-1BIO_METHOD.\s0 The \fBBIO_new()\fR function will allocate the
memory for the new \s-1BIO,\s0 and a pointer to this newly allocated structure will
be passed as a parameter to the function. If a create function is set,
\&\fBBIO_new()\fR will not mark the \s-1BIO\s0 as initialised on allocation.
\&\fBBIO_set_init\fR\|(3) must then be called either by the create function, or later,
by a \s-1BIO\s0 ctrl function, once \s-1BIO\s0 initialisation is complete.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_destroy()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_destroy()\fR get and set the function used
for destroying an instance of a \s-1BIO\s0 respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling \fBBIO_free()\fR. A pointer to the \s-1BIO\s0
to be destroyed is passed as a parameter. The destroy function should be used
for \s-1BIO\s0 specific clean up. The memory for the \s-1BIO\s0 itself should not be freed by
this function.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_meth_get_callback_ctrl()\fR and \fBBIO_meth_set_callback_ctrl()\fR get and set the
function used for processing callback ctrl messages in the \s-1BIO\s0 respectively. See
the \fBBIO_callback_ctrl\fR\|(3) page for more information. This function will be called
in response to the application calling \fBBIO_callback_ctrl()\fR. The parameters for
the function have the same meaning as for \fBBIO_callback_ctrl()\fR.
