  69. \&

  74. .SH DESCRIPTION
  75. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  76. \&\fBBIO_push()\fR pushes \fIb\fR on \fInext\fR.
  77. If \fIb\fR is NULL the function does nothing and returns \fInext\fR.
  78. Otherwise it prepends \fIb\fR, which may be a single BIO or a chain of BIOs,
  79. to \fInext\fR (unless \fInext\fR is NULL).
  80. It then makes a control call on \fIb\fR and returns \fIb\fR.
  81. .PP
  82. \&\fBBIO_pop()\fR removes the BIO \fIb\fR from any chain is is part of.
  83. If \fIb\fR is NULL the function does nothing and returns NULL.
  84. Otherwise it makes a control call on \fIb\fR and
  85. returns the next BIO in the chain, or NULL if there is no next BIO.
  86. The removed BIO becomes a single BIO with no association with
  87. the original chain, it can thus be freed or be made part of a different chain.
  88. .PP
  89. \&\fBBIO_set_next()\fR replaces the existing next BIO in a chain with the BIO pointed to
  90. by \fInext\fR. The new chain may include some of the same BIOs from the old chain
  91. or it may be completely different.
  92. .SH NOTES
  93. .IX Header "NOTES"
  94. The names of these functions are perhaps a little misleading. \fBBIO_push()\fR
  95. joins two BIO chains whereas \fBBIO_pop()\fR deletes a single BIO from a chain,
  96. the deleted BIO does not need to be at the end of a chain.
  97. .PP
  98. The process of calling \fBBIO_push()\fR and \fBBIO_pop()\fR on a BIO may have additional
  99. consequences (a control call is made to the affected BIOs).
  100. Any effects will be noted in the descriptions of individual BIOs.
  101. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  102. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  103. \&\fBBIO_push()\fR returns the head of the chain,
  104. which usually is \fIb\fR, or \fInext\fR if \fIb\fR is NULL.
  105. .PP
  106. \&\fBBIO_pop()\fR returns the next BIO in the chain,
  107. or NULL if there is no next BIO.
  108. .SH EXAMPLES
  109. .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
  110. For these examples suppose \fImd1\fR and \fImd2\fR are digest BIOs,
  111. \&\fIb64\fR is a base64 BIO and \fIf\fR is a file BIO.
  112. .PP
  113. If the call:
  114. .PP
  115. .Vb 1
  116. \& BIO_push(b64, f);
  117. .Ve
  118. .PP
  119. is made then the new chain will be \fIb64\-f\fR. After making the calls
  120. .PP
  121. .Vb 2
  122. \& BIO_push(md2, b64);
  123. \& BIO_push(md1, md2);
  124. .Ve
  125. .PP
  126. the new chain is \fImd1\-md2\-b64\-f\fR. Data written to \fImd1\fR will be digested
  127. by \fImd1\fR and \fImd2\fR, base64 encoded, and finally written to \fIf\fR.
  128. .PP
  129. It should be noted that reading causes data to pass in the reverse
  130. direction, that is data is read from \fIf\fR, base64 decoded,
  131. and digested by \fImd2\fR and then \fImd1\fR.
  132. .PP
  133. The call:
  134. .PP
  135. .Vb 1
  136. \& BIO_pop(md2);
  137. .Ve
  138. .PP
  139. will return \fIb64\fR and the new chain will be \fImd1\-b64\-f\fR.
  140. Data can be written to and read from \fImd1\fR as before,
  141. except that \fImd2\fR will no more be applied.
