.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBIO_s_file()\fR returns the BIO file method. As its name implies it
is a wrapper round the stdio FILE structure and it is a
source/sink BIO.
.PP
Calls to \fBBIO_read_ex()\fR and \fBBIO_write_ex()\fR read and write data to the
underlying stream. \fBBIO_gets()\fR and \fBBIO_puts()\fR are supported on file BIOs.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_flush()\fR on a file BIO calls the \fBfflush()\fR function on the wrapped
stream.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_reset()\fR attempts to change the file pointer to the start of file
using fseek(stream, 0, 0).
.PP
\&\fBBIO_seek()\fR sets the file pointer to position \fBofs\fR from start of file
using fseek(stream, ofs, 0).
.PP
\&\fBBIO_eof()\fR calls \fBfeof()\fR.
.PP
Setting the BIO_CLOSE flag calls \fBfclose()\fR on the stream when the BIO
is freed.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_new_file()\fR creates a new file BIO with mode \fBmode\fR the meaning
of \fBmode\fR is the same as the stdio function \fBfopen()\fR. The BIO_CLOSE
flag is set on the returned BIO.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_new_fp()\fR creates a file BIO wrapping \fBstream\fR. Flags can be:
BIO_CLOSE, BIO_NOCLOSE (the close flag) BIO_FP_TEXT (sets the underlying
stream to text mode, default is binary: this only has any effect under
Win32).
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_fp()\fR sets the fp of a file BIO to \fBfp\fR. \fBflags\fR has the same
meaning as in \fBBIO_new_fp()\fR, it is a macro.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_get_fp()\fR retrieves the fp of a file BIO, it is a macro.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_seek()\fR is a macro that sets the position pointer to \fBoffset\fR bytes
from the start of file.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_tell()\fR returns the value of the position pointer.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_read_filename()\fR, \fBBIO_write_filename()\fR, \fBBIO_append_filename()\fR and
\&\fBBIO_rw_filename()\fR set the file BIO \fBb\fR to use file \fBname\fR for
reading, writing, append or read write respectively.
.SH NOTES
.IX Header "NOTES"
When wrapping stdout, stdin or stderr the underlying stream should not
normally be closed so the BIO_NOCLOSE flag should be set.
.PP
Because the file BIO calls the underlying stdio functions any quirks
in stdio behaviour will be mirrored by the corresponding BIO.
.PP
On Windows BIO_new_files reserves for the filename argument to be
UTF\-8 encoded. In other words if you have to make it work in multi\-
lingual environment, encode filenames in UTF\-8.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBIO_s_file()\fR returns the file BIO method.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_new_file()\fR and \fBBIO_new_fp()\fR return a file BIO or NULL if an error
occurred.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_set_fp()\fR and \fBBIO_get_fp()\fR return 1 for success or <=0 for failure
(although the current implementation never return 0).
.PP
\&\fBBIO_seek()\fR returns 0 for success or negative values for failure.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_tell()\fR returns the current file position or negative values for failure.
.PP
\&\fBBIO_read_filename()\fR, \fBBIO_write_filename()\fR, \fBBIO_append_filename()\fR and
\&\fBBIO_rw_filename()\fR return 1 for success or <=0 for failure.
.SH EXAMPLES
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
File BIO "hello world":
.PP
.Vb 1
\& BIO *bio_out;
\&
\& bio_out = BIO_new_fp(stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE);
\& BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\en");
.Ve
.PP
Alternative technique:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& BIO *bio_out;
\&
\& bio_out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
\& if (bio_out == NULL)
\&     /* Error */
\& if (BIO_set_fp(bio_out, stdout, BIO_NOCLOSE) <= 0)
\&     /* Error */
\& BIO_printf(bio_out, "Hello World\en");
.Ve
.PP
Write to a file:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& BIO *out;
\&
\& out = BIO_new_file("filename.txt", "w");
\& if (!out)
\&     /* Error */
\& BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\en");
\& BIO_free(out);
.Ve
.PP
Alternative technique:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& BIO *out;
\&
\& out = BIO_new(BIO_s_file());
\& if (out == NULL)
\&     /* Error */
\& if (BIO_write_filename(out, "filename.txt") <= 0)
\&     /* Error */
\& BIO_printf(out, "Hello World\en");
\& BIO_free(out);
.Ve
.SH BUGS
.IX Header "BUGS"
\&\fBBIO_reset()\fR and \fBBIO_seek()\fR are implemented using \fBfseek()\fR on the underlying
stream. The return value for \fBfseek()\fR is 0 for success or \-1 if an error
occurred this differs from other types of BIO which will typically return
1 for success and a non positive value if an error occurred.
