BIO_s_fd(3)                         OpenSSL                        BIO_s_fd(3)




NAME

       BIO_s_fd, BIO_set_fd, BIO_get_fd, BIO_new_fd - file descriptor BIO


LIBRARY

       libcrypto, -lcrypto


SYNOPSIS

        #include <openssl/bio.h>

        const BIO_METHOD *BIO_s_fd(void);

        int BIO_set_fd(BIO *b, int fd, int c);
        int BIO_get_fd(BIO *b, int *c);

        BIO *BIO_new_fd(int fd, int close_flag);


DESCRIPTION

       BIO_s_fd() returns the file descriptor BIO method. This is a wrapper
       round the platforms file descriptor routines such as read() and
       write().

       BIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() read or write the underlying
       descriptor.  BIO_puts() is supported but BIO_gets() is not.

       If the close flag is set then close() is called on the underlying file
       descriptor when the BIO is freed.

       BIO_reset() attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file
       such as by using lseek(fd, 0, 0).

       BIO_seek() sets the file pointer to position ofs from start of file
       such as by using lseek(fd, ofs, 0).

       BIO_tell() returns the current file position such as by calling
       lseek(fd, 0, 1).

       BIO_set_fd() sets the file descriptor of BIO b to fd and the close flag
       to c.

       BIO_get_fd() places the file descriptor in c if it is not NULL, it also
       returns the file descriptor.

       BIO_new_fd() returns a file descriptor BIO using fd and close_flag.


NOTES

       The behaviour of BIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() depends on the
       behavior of the platforms read() and write() calls on the descriptor.
       If the underlying file descriptor is in a non blocking mode then the
       BIO will behave in the manner described in the BIO_read_ex(3) and
       BIO_should_retry(3) manual pages.

       File descriptor BIOs should not be used for socket I/O. Use socket BIOs
       instead.

       BIO_set_fd() and BIO_get_fd() are implemented as macros.


RETURN VALUES

       BIO_s_fd() returns the file descriptor BIO method.

       BIO_set_fd() always returns 1.

       BIO_get_fd() returns the file descriptor or -1 if the BIO has not been
       initialized.

       BIO_new_fd() returns the newly allocated BIO or NULL is an error
       occurred.


EXAMPLE

       This is a file descriptor BIO version of "Hello World":

        BIO *out;

        out = BIO_new_fd(fileno(stdout), BIO_NOCLOSE);
        BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\n");
        BIO_free(out);
