NAME
BIO_s_fd, BIO_set_fd, BIO_get_fd, BIO_new_fd - file descriptor BIO
SYNOPSIS
Header "SYNOPSIS" .Vb 1 #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); .Ve
DESCRIPTION
Header "DESCRIPTION" \fBBIO_s_fd() returns the file descriptor BIO method. This is a wrapper round the platforms file descriptor routines such as read() and write().

\fBBIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() read or write the underlying descriptor. \fBBIO_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.

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

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

\fBBIO_tell() returns the current file position such as by calling \fBlseek(fd, 0, 1).

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

\fBBIO_get_fd() places the file descriptor of BIO b in c if it is not NULL. It also returns the file descriptor.

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

NOTES
Header "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.

\fBBIO_set_fd() and BIO_get_fd() are implemented as macros.

"RETURN VALUES"
Header "RETURN VALUES" \fBBIO_s_fd() returns the file descriptor BIO method.

\fBBIO_set_fd() returns 1 on success or <=0 for failure.

\fBBIO_get_fd() returns the file descriptor or -1 if the BIO has not been initialized. It also returns zero and negative values if other error occurs.

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

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

.Vb 1 BIO *out; \& out = BIO_new_fd(fileno(stdout), BIO_NOCLOSE); BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\en"); BIO_free(out); .Ve
