=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B<BIO_METHOD> type is a structure used for the implementation of new BIO
types. It provides a set of of functions used by OpenSSL for the implementation
of the various BIO capabilities. See the L<bio> page for more information.
BIO_meth_new() creates a new B<BIO_METHOD> structure. It should be given a
unique integer B<type> and a string that represents its B<name>.
Use BIO_get_new_index() to get the value for B<type>.
The set of
standard OpenSSL provided BIO types is provided in B<bio.h>. Some examples
include B<BIO_TYPE_BUFFER> and B<BIO_TYPE_CIPHER>. Filter BIOs should have a
type which have the "filter" bit set (B<BIO_TYPE_FILTER>). Source/sink BIOs
should have the "source/sink" bit set (B<BIO_TYPE_SOURCE_SINK>). File descriptor
based BIOs (e.g. socket, fd, connect, accept etc) should additionally have the
"descriptor" bit set (B<BIO_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR>). See the L<BIO_find_type> page for
more information.
BIO_meth_free() destroys a B<BIO_METHOD> structure and frees up any memory
associated with it.
BIO_meth_get_write_ex() and BIO_meth_set_write_ex() get and set the function
used for writing arbitrary length data to the BIO respectively. This function
will be called in response to the application calling BIO_write_ex() or
BIO_write(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for
BIO_write_ex(). Older code may call BIO_meth_get_write() and
BIO_meth_set_write() instead. Applications should not call both
BIO_meth_set_write_ex() and BIO_meth_set_write() or call BIO_meth_get_write()
when the function was set with BIO_meth_set_write_ex().
BIO_meth_get_read_ex() and BIO_meth_set_read_ex() get and set the function used
for reading arbitrary length data from the BIO respectively. This function will
be called in response to the application calling BIO_read_ex() or BIO_read().
The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for BIO_read_ex().
Older code may call BIO_meth_get_read() and BIO_meth_set_read() instead.
Applications should not call both BIO_meth_set_read_ex() and BIO_meth_set_read()
or call BIO_meth_get_read() when the function was set with
BIO_meth_set_read_ex().
BIO_meth_get_puts() and BIO_meth_set_puts() get and set the function used for
writing a NULL terminated string to the BIO respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling BIO_puts(). The parameters for
the function have the same meaning as for BIO_puts().
BIO_meth_get_gets() and BIO_meth_set_gets() get and set the function typically
used for reading a line of data from the BIO respectively (see the L<BIO_gets(3)>
page for more information). This function will be called in response to the
application calling BIO_gets(). The parameters for the function have the same
meaning as for BIO_gets().
BIO_meth_get_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_ctrl() get and set the function used for
processing ctrl messages in the BIO respectively. See the L<BIO_ctrl> page for
more information. This function will be called in response to the application
calling BIO_ctrl(). The parameters for the function have the same meaning as for
BIO_ctrl().
BIO_meth_get_create() and BIO_meth_set_create() get and set the function used
for creating a new instance of the BIO respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling BIO_new() and passing
in a pointer to the current BIO_METHOD. The BIO_new() function will allocate the
memory for the new BIO, and a pointer to this newly allocated structure will
be passed as a parameter to the function.
BIO_meth_get_destroy() and BIO_meth_set_destroy() get and set the function used
for destroying an instance of a BIO respectively. This function will be
called in response to the application calling BIO_free(). A pointer to the BIO
to be destroyed is passed as a parameter. The destroy function should be used
for BIO specific clean up. The memory for the BIO itself should not be freed by
this function.
BIO_meth_get_callback_ctrl() and BIO_meth_set_callback_ctrl() get and set the
function used for processing callback ctrl messages in the BIO respectively. See
the L<BIO_callback_ctrl(3)> page for more information. This function will be called
in response to the application calling BIO_callback_ctrl(). The parameters for
the function have the same meaning as for BIO_callback_ctrl().
