.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A \s-1BIO\s0 is an I/O abstraction, it hides many of the underlying I/O
details from an application. If an application uses a \s-1BIO\s0 for its
I/O it can transparently handle \s-1SSL\s0 connections, unencrypted network
connections and file I/O.
.PP
There are two type of \s-1BIO,\s0 a source/sink \s-1BIO\s0 and a filter \s-1BIO.\s0
.PP
As its name implies a source/sink \s-1BIO\s0 is a source and/or sink of data,
examples include a socket \s-1BIO\s0 and a file \s-1BIO.\s0
.PP
A filter \s-1BIO\s0 takes data from one \s-1BIO\s0 and passes it through to
another, or the application. The data may be left unmodified (for
example a message digest \s-1BIO\s0) or translated (for example an
encryption \s-1BIO\s0). The effect of a filter \s-1BIO\s0 may change according
to the I/O operation it is performing: for example an encryption
\&\s-1BIO\s0 will encrypt data if it is being written to and decrypt data
if it is being read from.
.PP
BIOs can be joined together to form a chain (a single \s-1BIO\s0 is a chain
with one component). A chain normally consist of one source/sink
\&\s-1BIO\s0 and one or more filter BIOs. Data read from or written to the
first \s-1BIO\s0 then traverses the chain to the end (normally a source/sink
\&\s-1BIO\s0).
