+\&\fIBIO_s_mem()\fR return the memory \s-1BIO\s0 method function.
+.PP
+A memory \s-1BIO\s0 is a source/sink \s-1BIO\s0 which uses memory for its I/O. Data
+written to a memory \s-1BIO\s0 is stored in a \s-1BUF_MEM\s0 structure which is extended
+as appropriate to accommodate the stored data.
+.PP
+Any data written to a memory \s-1BIO\s0 can be recalled by reading from it.
+Unless the memory \s-1BIO\s0 is read only any data read from it is deleted from
+the \s-1BIO\s0.
+.PP
+Memory BIOs support \fIBIO_gets()\fR and \fIBIO_puts()\fR.
+.PP
+If the \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 flag is set when a memory \s-1BIO\s0 is freed then the underlying
+\&\s-1BUF_MEM\s0 structure is also freed.
+.PP
+Calling \fIBIO_reset()\fR on a read write memory \s-1BIO\s0 clears any data in it. On a
+read only \s-1BIO\s0 it restores the \s-1BIO\s0 to its original state and the read only
+data can be read again.
+.PP
+\&\fIBIO_eof()\fR is true if no data is in the \s-1BIO\s0.
+.PP
+\&\fIBIO_ctrl_pending()\fR returns the number of bytes currently stored.
+.PP
+\&\fIBIO_set_mem_eof_return()\fR sets the behaviour of memory \s-1BIO\s0 \fBb\fR when it is
+empty. If the \fBv\fR is zero then an empty memory \s-1BIO\s0 will return \s-1EOF\s0 (that is
+it will return zero and \fIBIO_should_retry\fR\|(b) will be false. If \fBv\fR is non
+zero then it will return \fBv\fR when it is empty and it will set the read retry
+flag (that is \fIBIO_read_retry\fR\|(b) is true). To avoid ambiguity with a normal
+positive return value \fBv\fR should be set to a negative value, typically \-1.
+.PP
+\&\fIBIO_get_mem_data()\fR sets \fBpp\fR to a pointer to the start of the memory BIOs data
+and returns the total amount of data available. It is implemented as a macro.
+.PP
+\&\fIBIO_set_mem_buf()\fR sets the internal \s-1BUF_MEM\s0 structure to \fBbm\fR and sets the
+close flag to \fBc\fR, that is \fBc\fR should be either \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 or \s-1BIO_NOCLOSE\s0.
+It is a macro.
+.PP
+\&\fIBIO_get_mem_ptr()\fR places the underlying \s-1BUF_MEM\s0 structure in \fBpp\fR. It is
+a macro.
+.PP
+\&\fIBIO_new_mem_buf()\fR creates a memory \s-1BIO\s0 using \fBlen\fR bytes of data at \fBbuf\fR,
+if \fBlen\fR is \-1 then the \fBbuf\fR is assumed to be null terminated and its
+length is determined by \fBstrlen\fR. The \s-1BIO\s0 is set to a read only state and
+as a result cannot be written to. This is useful when some data needs to be
+made available from a static area of memory in the form of a \s-1BIO\s0. The
+supplied data is read directly from the supplied buffer: it is \fBnot\fR copied
+first, so the supplied area of memory must be unchanged until the \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+Writes to memory BIOs will always succeed if memory is available: that is
+their size can grow indefinitely.
+.PP
+Every read from a read write memory \s-1BIO\s0 will remove the data just read with
+an internal copy operation, if a \s-1BIO\s0 contains a lots of data and it is
+read in small chunks the operation can be very slow. The use of a read only
+memory \s-1BIO\s0 avoids this problem. If the \s-1BIO\s0 must be read write then adding
+a buffering \s-1BIO\s0 to the chain will speed up the process.
+.SH "BUGS"
+.IX Header "BUGS"
+There should be an option to set the maximum size of a memory \s-1BIO\s0.
+.PP
+There should be a way to \*(L"rewind\*(R" a read write \s-1BIO\s0 without destroying
+its contents.
+.PP
+The copying operation should not occur after every small read of a large \s-1BIO\s0
+to improve efficiency.
