118.Sh DESCRIPTION
119.Fn BIO_f_ssl
120returns the
121.Vt SSL
122.Vt BIO
123method.
124This is a filter
125.Vt BIO
126which is a wrapper around the OpenSSL
127.Vt SSL
128routines adding a
129.Vt BIO
130.Dq flavor
131to SSL I/O.
132.Pp
133I/O performed on an
134.Vt SSL
135.Vt BIO
136communicates using the SSL protocol with
137the
138.Vt SSL Ns 's
139read and write
140.Vt BIO Ns s .
141If an SSL connection is not established then an attempt is made to establish
142one on the first I/O call.
143.Pp
144If a
145.Vt BIO
146is appended to an
147.Vt SSL
148.Vt BIO
149using
150.Xr BIO_push 3
151it is automatically used as the
152.Vt SSL
153.Vt BIO Ns 's read and write
154.Vt BIO Ns s .
155.Pp
156Calling
157.Xr BIO_reset 3
158on an
159.Vt SSL
160.Vt BIO
161closes down any current SSL connection by calling
162.Xr SSL_shutdown 3 .
163.Xr BIO_reset 3
164is then sent to the next
165.Vt BIO
166in the chain; this will typically disconnect the underlying transport.
167The
168.Vt SSL
169.Vt BIO
170is then reset to the initial accept or connect state.
171.Pp
172If the close flag is set when an
173.Vt SSL
174.Vt BIO
175is freed then the internal
176.Vt SSL
177structure is also freed using
178.Xr SSL_free 3 .
179.Pp
180.Fn BIO_set_ssl
181sets the internal
182.Vt SSL
183pointer of
184.Vt BIO
185.Fa b
186to
187.Fa ssl
188using
189the close flag
190.Fa c .
191.Pp
192.Fn BIO_get_ssl
193retrieves the
194.Vt SSL
195pointer of
196.Vt BIO
197.Fa b ;
198it can then be manipulated using the standard SSL library functions.
199.Pp
200.Fn BIO_set_ssl_mode
201sets the
202.Vt SSL
203.Vt BIO
204mode to
205.Fa client .
206If
207.Fa client
208is 1, client mode is set.
209If
210.Fa client
211is 0, server mode is set.
212.Pp
213.Fn BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_bytes
214sets the renegotiate byte count to
215.Fa num .
216When set after every
217.Fa num
218bytes of I/O (read and write) the SSL session is automatically renegotiated.
219.Fa num
220must be at least 512 bytes.
221.Pp
222.Fn BIO_set_ssl_renegotiate_timeout
223sets the renegotiate timeout to
224.Fa seconds .
225When the renegotiate timeout elapses the session is automatically renegotiated.
226.Pp
227.Fn BIO_get_num_renegotiates
228returns the total number of session renegotiations due to I/O or timeout.
229.Pp
230.Fn BIO_new_ssl
231allocates an
232.Vt SSL
233.Vt BIO
234using
235.Vt SSL_CTX
236.Va ctx
237and using client mode if
238.Fa client
239is nonzero.
240.Pp
241.Fn BIO_new_ssl_connect
242creates a new
243.Vt BIO
244chain consisting of an
245.Vt SSL
246.Vt BIO
247(using
248.Fa ctx )
249followed by a connect BIO.
250.Pp
251.Fn BIO_new_buffer_ssl_connect
252creates a new
253.Vt BIO
254chain consisting of a buffering
255.Vt BIO ,
256an
257.Vt SSL
258.Vt BIO
259(using
260.Fa ctx )
261and a connect
262.Vt BIO .
263.Pp
264.Fn BIO_ssl_copy_session_id
265copies an SSL session id between
266.Vt BIO
267chains
268.Fa from
269and
270.Fa to .
271It does this by locating the
272.Vt SSL
273.Vt BIO Ns s
274in each chain and calling
275.Xr SSL_copy_session_id 3
276on the internal
277.Vt SSL
278pointer.
279.Pp
280.Fn BIO_ssl_shutdown
281closes down an SSL connection on
282.Vt BIO
283chain
284.Fa bio .
285It does this by locating the
286.Vt SSL
287.Vt BIO
288in the
289chain and calling
290.Xr SSL_shutdown 3
291on its internal
292.Vt SSL
293pointer.
294.Pp
295.Fn BIO_do_handshake
296attempts to complete an SSL handshake on the supplied
297.Vt BIO
298and establish the SSL connection.
299It returns 1 if the connection was established successfully.
300A zero or negative value is returned if the connection could not be
301established; the call
302.Xr BIO_should_retry 3
303should be used for non blocking connect
304.Vt BIO Ns s
305to determine if the call should be retried.
306If an SSL connection has already been established this call has no effect.
307.Pp
308.Vt SSL
309.Vt BIO Ns s
310are exceptional in that if the underlying transport is non-blocking they can
311still request a retry in exceptional circumstances.
312Specifically this will happen if a session renegotiation takes place during a
313.Xr BIO_read 3
314operation.
315One case where this happens is when step up occurs.
316.Pp
317In OpenSSL 0.9.6 and later the SSL flag
318.Dv SSL_AUTO_RETRY
319can be set to disable this behaviour.
320In other words, when this flag is set an
321.Vt SSL
322.Vt BIO
323using a blocking transport will never request a retry.
324.Pp
325Since unknown
326.Xr BIO_ctrl 3
327operations are sent through filter
328.Vt BIO Ns s
329the server name and port can be set using
330.Xr BIO_set_conn_hostname 3
331and
332.Xr BIO_set_conn_port 3
333on the
334.Vt BIO
335returned by
336.Fn BIO_new_ssl_connect
337without having to locate the connect
338.Vt BIO
339first.
340.Pp
341Applications do not have to call
342.Fn BIO_do_handshake
343but may wish to do so to separate the handshake process from other I/O
344processing.

348.Fn BIO_set_ssl_mode ,

351.Fn BIO_get_num_renegotiates ,

373and

375returns a pointer to a newly allocated

385returns 1 if the connection was established successfully
386or a value less than or equal to 0 otherwise.

595.Pp
596In OpenSSL versions before 1.0.0 the
597.Xr BIO_pop 3
598call was handled incorrectly:
599the I/O BIO reference count was incorrectly incremented (instead of
600decremented) and dissociated with the
601.Vt SSL
602.Vt BIO
603even if the
604.Vt SSL
605.Vt BIO
606was not
607explicitly being popped (e.g., a pop higher up the chain).
608Applications which included workarounds for this bug (e.g., freeing BIOs more
609than once) should be modified to handle this fix or they may free up an already
610freed
611.Vt BIO .
612
