.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fIBIO_ctrl()\fR, \fIBIO_callback_ctrl()\fR, \fIBIO_ptr_ctrl()\fR and \fIBIO_int_ctrl()\fR
are \s-1BIO\s0 \*(L"control\*(R" operations taking arguments of various types.
These functions are not normally called directly, various macros
are used instead. The standard macros are described below, macros
specific to a particular type of \s-1BIO\s0 are described in the specific
BIOs manual page as well as any special features of the standard
calls.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_reset()\fR typically resets a \s-1BIO\s0 to some initial state, in the case
of file related BIOs for example it rewinds the file pointer to the
start of the file.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_seek()\fR resets a file related \s-1BIO\s0's (that is file descriptor and
\&\s-1FILE\s0 BIOs) file position pointer to \fBofs\fR bytes from start of file.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_tell()\fR returns the current file position of a file related \s-1BIO\s0.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_flush()\fR normally writes out any internally buffered data, in some
cases it is used to signal \s-1EOF\s0 and that no more data will be written.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_eof()\fR returns 1 if the \s-1BIO\s0 has read \s-1EOF\s0, the precise meaning of
\&\*(L"\s-1EOF\s0\*(R" varies according to the \s-1BIO\s0 type.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_set_close()\fR sets the \s-1BIO\s0 \fBb\fR close flag to \fBflag\fR. \fBflag\fR can
take the value \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 or \s-1BIO_NOCLOSE\s0. Typically \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 is used
in a source/sink \s-1BIO\s0 to indicate that the underlying I/O stream should
be closed when the \s-1BIO\s0 is freed.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_get_close()\fR returns the BIOs close flag.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_pending()\fR, \fIBIO_ctrl_pending()\fR, \fIBIO_wpending()\fR and \fIBIO_ctrl_wpending()\fR
return the number of pending characters in the BIOs read and write buffers.
Not all BIOs support these calls. \fIBIO_ctrl_pending()\fR and \fIBIO_ctrl_wpending()\fR
return a size_t type and are functions, \fIBIO_pending()\fR and \fIBIO_wpending()\fR are
macros which call \fIBIO_ctrl()\fR.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fIBIO_reset()\fR normally returns 1 for success and 0 or \-1 for failure. File
BIOs are an exception, they return 0 for success and \-1 for failure.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_seek()\fR and \fIBIO_tell()\fR both return the current file position on success
and \-1 for failure, except file BIOs which for \fIBIO_seek()\fR always return 0
for success and \-1 for failure.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_flush()\fR returns 1 for success and 0 or \-1 for failure.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_eof()\fR returns 1 if \s-1EOF\s0 has been reached 0 otherwise.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_set_close()\fR always returns 1.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_get_close()\fR returns the close flag value: \s-1BIO_CLOSE\s0 or \s-1BIO_NOCLOSE\s0.
.PP
\&\fIBIO_pending()\fR, \fIBIO_ctrl_pending()\fR, \fIBIO_wpending()\fR and \fIBIO_ctrl_wpending()\fR
return the amount of pending data.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
\&\fIBIO_flush()\fR, because it can write data may return 0 or \-1 indicating
that the call should be retried later in a similar manner to \fIBIO_write()\fR. 
The \fIBIO_should_retry()\fR call should be used and appropriate action taken
is the call fails.
.PP
The return values of \fIBIO_pending()\fR and \fIBIO_wpending()\fR may not reliably
determine the amount of pending data in all cases. For example in the
case of a file \s-1BIO\s0 some data may be available in the \s-1FILE\s0 structures
internal buffers but it is not possible to determine this in a
portably way. For other types of \s-1BIO\s0 they may not be supported.
.PP
Filter BIOs if they do not internally handle a particular \fIBIO_ctrl()\fR
operation usually pass the operation to the next \s-1BIO\s0 in the chain.
This often means there is no need to locate the required \s-1BIO\s0 for
a particular operation, it can be called on a chain and it will
be automatically passed to the relevant \s-1BIO\s0. However this can cause
unexpected results: for example no current filter BIOs implement
\&\fIBIO_seek()\fR, but this may still succeed if the chain ends in a \s-1FILE\s0
or file descriptor \s-1BIO\s0.
.PP
Source/sink BIOs return an 0 if they do not recognize the \fIBIO_ctrl()\fR
operation.
.SH "BUGS"
.IX Header "BUGS"
Some of the return values are ambiguous and care should be taken. In
particular a return value of 0 can be returned if an operation is not
supported, if an error occurred, if \s-1EOF\s0 has not been reached and in
the case of \fIBIO_seek()\fR on a file \s-1BIO\s0 for a successful operation.
