int BIO_read_ex(BIO *b, void *data, size_t dlen, size_t *readbytes);
|

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_read_ex() attempts to read B<dlen> bytes from BIO B<b> and places the data
|
||
|
|
in B<data>. If any bytes were successfully read then the number of bytes read is
|
||
|
|
stored in B<*readbytes>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_write_ex() attempts to write B<dlen> bytes from B<data> to BIO B<b>. If
|
||
|
|
successful then the number of bytes written is stored in B<*written>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_read() attempts to read B<len> bytes from BIO B<b> and places
|
||
|
|
the data in B<buf>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_gets() performs the BIOs "gets" operation and places the data
|
||
|
|
in B<buf>. Usually this operation will attempt to read a line of data
|
||
|
|
from the BIO of maximum length B<size-1>. There are exceptions to this,
|
||
|
|
however; for example, BIO_gets() on a digest BIO will calculate and
|
||
|
|
return the digest and other BIOs may not support BIO_gets() at all.
|
||
|
|
The returned string is always NUL-terminated and the '\n' is preserved
|
||
|
|
if present in the input data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_write() attempts to write B<len> bytes from B<buf> to BIO B<b>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_puts() attempts to write a NUL-terminated string B<buf> to BIO B<b>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_read_ex() and BIO_write_ex() return 1 if data was successfully read or
|
||
|
|
written, and 0 otherwise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All other functions return either the amount of data successfully read or
|
||
|
|
written (if the return value is positive) or that no data was successfully
|
||
|
|
read or written if the result is 0 or -1. If the return value is -2 then
|
||
|
|
the operation is not implemented in the specific BIO type. The trailing
|
||
|
|
NUL is not included in the length returned by BIO_gets().
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A 0 or -1 return is not necessarily an indication of an error. In
|
||
|
|
particular when the source/sink is nonblocking or of a certain type
|
||
|
|
it may merely be an indication that no data is currently available and that
|
||
|
|
the application should retry the operation later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One technique sometimes used with blocking sockets is to use a system call
|
||
|
|
(such as select(), poll() or equivalent) to determine when data is available
|
||
|
|
and then call read() to read the data. The equivalent with BIOs (that is call
|
||
|
|
select() on the underlying I/O structure and then call BIO_read() to
|
||
|
|
read the data) should B<not> be used because a single call to BIO_read()
|
||
|
|
can cause several reads (and writes in the case of SSL BIOs) on the underlying
|
||
|
|
I/O structure and may block as a result. Instead select() (or equivalent)
|
||
|
|
should be combined with non blocking I/O so successive reads will request
|
||
|
|
a retry instead of blocking.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See L<BIO_should_retry(3)> for details of how to
|
||
|
|
determine the cause of a retry and other I/O issues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the BIO_gets() function is not supported by a BIO then it possible to
|
||
|
|
work around this by adding a buffering BIO L<BIO_f_buffer(3)>
|
||
|
|
to the chain.

=head1 HISTORY
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BIO_gets() on 1.1.0 and older when called on BIO_fd() based BIO does not
|
||
|
|
keep the '\n' at the end of the line in the buffer.
